The Free University at Amsterdam offers an outstanding Master’s Program in Social Psychology, with an emphasis on basic, experimental social psychology. Over a two-year period, students complete courses covering basic content areas (e.g., evolutionary psychology; social neuroscience; social cognition; feelings and emotions; motivational science; close relationships; interdependence; group processes) as well as specific research skills (e.g., methods/statistics; writing/presenting; basic-applied bridging; computational modeling). Students also receive excellent research experience, completing numerous research proposals and carrying out at least three full-scale research projects (in collaboration with faculty advisors). All program activities are carried out in English.
We have a strong (and growing) faculty, including Caryl Rusbult (Professor and Chair), Paul van Lange and Gun Semin (Professors), and Wilco van Dijk, Catrin Finkenauer, Sander Koole, Esther van Leeuwen, Jan-Willem van Prooijen, and Martijn van Zomeren (Assistant and Associate Professors); John Cacioppo and Eliot Smith hold special chairs in the program. In addition to standard coursework, students also participate in expert workshops taught by eminent international scientists (e.g., in 2005-06 workshops were taught by Art Aron, Roy Baumeister, Hart Blanton, John Cacioppo, Eliot Smith, Russell Spears, Dianne Tice, and Kip Williams). The department has a vibrant and intellectually stimulating climate, and is quite international in orientation. We also provide good support for students (e.g., mentors, help with visa procedures; merit-based awards and university-funded housing are available).
The deadline for applications is (a) April 1 for students from EU/EEA countries, the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Monaco, and New Zealand, (b) February 1 for students from countries other than the above (as well as those who do not reside in the Netherlands), and (c) May 1 for students from the Netherlands. Interested candidates can obtain additional information at:
