7/15/2026The supplementary degree program component Psychology with Specialization in School Psychology provides the academic foundation for the occupation of school psychologist and qualifies graduates for their practical training (Referendariat) to become a certified teacher at a vocational school. A course of studies in Psychology will be completed that incorporates the full breadth of the discipline, as well as (sub)disciplinary and school-related internships. Together with a vocational specialization as the first subject, the program is geared towards assuming a dual role as teacher and school psychologist. For further information on the spheres of activity and tasks of school psychologists in Bavaria, see here. Upon completion of the supplementary degree program component, graduates are able: to work in the fields of education and psychology as teachers and school psychologists to consistently meet the contending demands of both. to select (in accordance with their knowledge of theory) universal, indicated and selective prevention programs, as well as life management skills programs, and run these with pupils on a one-to-one basis or in groups. to apply diagnostic strategies, case-specific interventional measures and techniques for producing written statements in pedagogic and psychological contexts. to recognize warning signs and risk factors with regard to mental symptoms or disorders in pupils, teaching staff, etc., grasp these within an overall context and initiate the necessary steps. to respond appropriately to crisis situations, both with regard to individual crises (stabilization, dealing with suicidal tendencies, involvement of and referrals to appropriate institutions) and to institutional crises (leadership of the school's internal crisis intervention team, providing an interface for external care providers, etc.). to take a practice-based and action-oriented approach to teaching the central theories, concepts, models, etc. of psychology in associated disciplines and courses (e.g. “Pedagogy and Psychology” in technical colleges, higher vocational schools); structure arguments in the field of psychology with reference to scientific theories and empirical findings; reflect upon scientific content; and work in accordance with current scientific methods. After the bachelor’s degree, these competencies pertain to the choice of subdiscipline within psychology; upon completion of all 140 credits, they pertain to all relevant fields in the discipline. For information on the spheres of activity and the tasks of school psychologists in Bavaria, see here. School psychologists are in great demand in vocational schools. There is an increasing need for counseling and requisite forms of support when it comes to behavioral disorders, as well as problems with learning and performance at school or in the workplace; but also with regard to decisions concerning their academic progress and education. Moreover, given the responsibility of vocational schools for the training of refugees and in the aftermath of such cases as the abuse of a pupil in Augsburg (2018), demand continues to increase. Graduates’ competencies in vocational education and psychology make it feasible for them to enter alternative spheres of activity and, for example, to assume a psychology-related role in industry.
