UvA online Open House

This year, you won’t be able to attend any busy on-campus events with lots of people. But our online Open House is the perfect way to get to know UvA study programmes and university life from the comfort of your own home.

Every study programme has an Open House page with videos, FAQs and live events. On the main Open House website you can discover all our programmes,explore the city and campus, and get inspired during our theme weeks.

Study programme

This Master's track will address four of the most important health problems in society today in 4 courses, that start in the first semester:

• Sex and sexually transmitted diseases
• Obesity
• Addiction
• Stress

These four domains are approached with theoretical knowledge from social, developmental, clinical and biological psychology combined with practical applications. Practical workshops will be offered at the start of each course, and interactive tutorial groups using problem-based learning, focused at state-of-the-art topics within each domain. You will learn to select, adapt and execute appropriate preventive methods or evidence-based interventions, both at the individual and the population level. 

Career

The track provides a sound basis for various positions, such as:

• Intervention developer
• consultant or researcher for e-health companies and start-ups 
• Researcher or graduate student at research institutes and health promotion institutes (prevention and intervention) ; e.g. into employee wellbeing, overeating, burnout, sexual health, motivation, addiction.
