1. INTEGRATED SOCIAL AND COGNITIVE
PSYCHOLOGY - THE PROGRAM
The Jacobs BSc in Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology is built on a multi-level
approach to human behavior, reflecting the insight that behavior is constrained and shaped
by factors that range from biological and psychological variables to socio-cultural contexts.
These factors interact in an intricate fashion in their effects on behavior. Our program
focuses on equipping you with the skills to analyze, model, and eventually influence those
multi-level interactions. You will explore in depth how diverse, for instance, relationships
between individual people, between social groups, and even between cultures, may become
as a function of influences from those different levels.
