How do young people develop into healthy and committed adults? How do biological, psychological, social and cultural factors interact? And how can we sustainably promote the positive development of young people?

Our department addresses these and other questions on the basis of a bio-psycho-social and culturally sensitive approach. We work closely with practitioners to transfer scientific findings to schools, local authorities and social policy and to optimise research through constant exchange.

On the following pages you will find relevant information on the Youth Research department. Find out about our B.A. Psychology degree programme (Minor subject) and a wide range of course|classes, current research projects and other activities.
