Psychologie

The Health of Students research area is devoted to the topic of (medical) student health. Education in the health care professions may result in a variety of stressful situations, and this research area should permit early health promotion and prevention. Together with the Peer2Peer program, which offers a low-threshold point of contact for students in situations of psychosocial stress and crisis, this area works on research projects (stress and protective factors during one's studies, educational research, etc.) and cooperates on knowledge transfer (nationally and internationally).
