About Environmental Psychology, Master Degree - at University of Groningen

How can psychology help us understand and adress environmental challenges? How can we motivate and empower people to act pro-environmentally and adapt to a changing environment?

Questions like these are addressed in the Master programme Environmental psychology. The programme focuses on the interactions between humans and their environment. You will acquire theoretical knowledge and methodological skills to understand and address the human dimension of environmental problems (e.g., climate-, energy-, food-related). The program is taught by the world-leading Environmental Psychology group at the University of Groningen.

The expertise gained in this master is essential in attempts to limit global climate change and its negative impacts, and adapt successfully to the consequences of climate change. Governments and companies seek advice from environmental psychologists to understand the human dimension of sustainable development, and leading journals, such as Nature, stress the importance of the social sciences for solving environmental problems. This master will equip you for job opportunities that focus on finding effective and acceptable societal solutions to these problems. In cooperation with Leuphana University, we also offer the Double Degree Master Sustainability and Environmental Psychology.
