Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology

The Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology is offered by the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the University of Bergamo. It includes lectures on the foundations of clinical and health psychology, experiential workshops and evaluated practical internships, with a strong emphasis on developing professional autonomy. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years and is full-time in person in Bergamo. The language is Italian, with courses in English available. The evaluated practical internships are compulsory and included in the programme, with the possibility of international mobility.

The aim is to train clinical psychologists for diagnosis, prevention, counselling and treatment in various contexts, developing interdisciplinary and research skills. Career outcomes are health authorities, social cooperatives, therapeutic communities, schools, family counselling centres and private practices. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
