DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE
The Department of Psychology of the University of Milano-Bicocca will offer a new Master's
Degree in Applied Experimental Psychological Sciences (AEPS), starting from 2017-2018.
The 2-year Master Degree program focuses on how basic and advanced knowledge
in psychological sciences can be fruitfully applied to address relevant needs and
tackle diverse issues in a range of contexts and domains. The goal of the program
is to teach cutting-edge perspectives on the cognitive, social, emotional, and neural
processes underlying human thought, behavior, language, knowledge, and decisionmaking. AEPS graduates will acquire advanced general knowledge, strong transferrable methodological research skills, and a specific focus of application of these
skills, henceforth combining flexibility (e.g., the methodological research skills can
be applied to a wide range of issues) and specificity (e.g., they are applied to a specific
issue during the course of the degree). This expertise will open a range of possible
career paths both in the private and in the public sector, including the academic sector both nationally and internationally.
