Continuing Education
A bachelor's degree is the prerequisite for applying to the M.Sc. Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy program, which concludes with a state psychotherapeutic exam. Licensure (permission to practice) is granted upon passing the exam.
After completing the degree program, postgraduate training takes place in inpatient or outpatient facilities. Treatment services provided by psychotherapists in training are already reimbursed by health insurance providers. Expertise in child and adolescent psychotherapy or psychotherapy for adults is acquired during this postgraduate training.
Upon completing the training, psychotherapists are eligible to register with the medical register and submit an application for admission to provide outpatient psychotherapeutic care within the statutory health insurance system.
