The M.Sc. in Legal Psychology: Assessment and Intervention at PHB offers practice-oriented advanced training at a high scientific level with renowned lecturers.

The mix of practical theoretical foundations and case seminars provides graduates with qualified preparation for work in forensic-psychological expert activities. With appropriate specialization, the program also prepares for work in penal and correctional facilities. Small cohort groups of maximum 22 students create a personal teaching and learning atmosphere that enables individual support. The degree also fully covers the theoretical requirements for further education as a specialist psychologist for legal psychology (BDP/DGPs). The courses take place in block phases on weekends, making them compatible with professional work - even for those not living in Berlin.
