Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience
The academic year 2024/25 has started, marking 30 years since the founding of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, 30 years of innovation in research and education and 30 years of endless curiosity for psychology and neuroscience.
The Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN) is an international faculty with students and staff from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our curiosity drives us to explore the broad field of psychology from a biological and cognitive perspective. By using the Problem-Based Learning method of teaching we encourage a similar curiosity in our students by handing them the tools to discover the world of the human brain.
