No training as psychotherapists possible
The B.Sc. Psychologie programme at the TU Darmstadt does not meet the legal requirements for psychotherapist training. This means that the B.Sc. Psychologie at the TU Darmstadt does not allow students to train as psychotherapists. Please read the information provided by the Institut für Psychologie.
Application: Voluntary additional psychology aptitude test
From the winter semester 2025/26, the “Studieneignungstest Psychologie” can be taken voluntarily in addition to the university entrance eligibility qualification when applying for the 1st semester of the B.Sc. Psychologie programme.
