Overview

Accordingly, the Psychology and Sustainability programme from Leuphana University of Lüneburg covers both human perception and behaviour related to sustainable development on the one hand and the interplay between humans and their natural and built environments on the other hand.

Career prospects

Students with an academic background in the field of sustainability science (e.g. political, natural, social science) will complement their disciplinary education with a new perspective on the topic of sustainability with a focus on the individual actors thus adding a psychological bottom-up perspective to their systemic perspective.

Students with an academic background in the field of psychology (e.g. work and organisational, educational, or clinical psychology) will shift their focus away from the traditional intrapersonal perspective of psychology (e.g. biological, neuro-psychological, cognitive processes) and will acquire a new perspective on psychological processes as they occur in certain ecological, economic, social, or cultural environments.
