Psychology is an empirical science that deals with the experiences and behavior of humans in research and instruction. In the course of the program, students are expected to acquire knowledge, skills, and experiences that will enable them to identify psychological dimensions of problems, formulate suitable methods for solving them, and implement these methods in a scientifically sound manner in a later professional context. The first phase of the course of study includes various foundations courses which convey important theoretical knowledge and central research findings of the field. In the second phase, students build on the knowledge and skills acquired in the first phase and apply them to selected areas of activity and research.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
