At WSZiP, you can study Psychology on master's studies (five years).

These are studies with a practical profile, characterized primarily by a greater number of workshops, simulation training and field activities on the site conducted by research- informed psychology practitioners - they constitute over 50% of all classes. They are implemented using methods that actively involve students in work (projects, exercise tasks, simulations, debates, games, role-playing), divided into smaller groups. Theoretical knowledge is provided during lectures, the materials for which are posted on the Moodle platform ,

Outstanding scientists and practitioners were invited to join the lecturers team. They include, among others: prof.Ph.D. Michał Ziarko, prof. Ph.D. Ewa Mojs , prof.Ph.D. Tomasz Hanć , Ph.D.​ Maia Stanisławska- Kubiak , Ph.D. Dominik Czajeczny , Wojciech Żak, MD, PhD, Wojciech Strzelecki, PhD, Beata Bochnia, PhD and Marcin Kochanowski, PhD . The lecturers are professionally active clinical, educational, organisational and sports psychologists, as well as psychotherapists, psychiatrists and cognitive scientists, and also managers of recruitment companies and HR departments. The study program was also consulted by representatives of NGOs, family support centers and orphanages, as well as the medical community.

Students complete their studies with the defense of a diploma thesis, which allows them to obtain a master's degree in psychology .

Education begins with subjects providing the basis for the field of study, which are developed during chosen major courses and classes preparing for psychological practice. These include subjects introducing evidence-based trends of psychotherapy - psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral with elements of schema, systemic, humanistic and positive therapy, as well as solution-focused therapy. This allows our students to better understand the nature of their future work and choose a path for further development as a therapist.

Professional internships are an integral part of the study program. Our School provides internship jobs. Students can also provide internships on their own.

Some of the practice-oriented classes are carried out using a simulation and observation laboratory and a psychometric laboratory with psychological diagnosis tools. Additionally, some classes take place under the supervision of instructors in care centers, hospitals and institutions dealing with intervention and therapy for children and adolescents.

Knowledge of various methods, techniques and tools for diagnosing human behavior and the ability to undertake psychological interventions will allow our students to use  adequate therapeutic techniques at  their future work.

High personal and social psychological competences obtained during studies will allow our graduates to provide psychological support and assistance in an attitude of openness and respect for other people.
