Psychology – (B.A.)

The foreign language qualification of ELTE has a long history stemming from the internationally known workshops and the teachers who are also recognised internationally. The English Language University Programmes in Psychology (hereafter: ELUP) exists since 1991, as an English language version of the Hungarian curriculum. During these 19 years the Institute welcomed 50-60 students per year from a wide range of foreign countries.

As one can see, the foreign student to teacher ratio supports a tutorial-like atmosphere which can boost communication and guidance effectiveness among the students and their teachers.

Regarding the number of staff and students, the professional preparedness, administrative capacity, and infrastructural conditions of the institute, the Faculty of Education and Psychology at ELTE is the best Institute of Psychology in Hungary.

The activity of a behaviour-analyst can find its grounds and justification in every organisation, field, institute, where the following processes – involving human interventions – take place: education, qualification, development, leadership, recruitment, selection, re-education, correction, or health activities. Furthermore, a behaviour-analyst can also work in any psychological laboratory and can complete and evaluate several standard experiments and aptitude tests of organisational psychology. Naturally – in specific cases – the supervision of a qualified psychologist is obligatory.

Because a behaviour-analyst is trained and prepared to conduct and analyse several experiments regarding human interventions, like standard or intentional surveys of competence, adaptivity, attitude or functioning, the demand for such professionals can be characterised as significant and remarkable. Institutes that already employ a well-trained and qualified psychologist can also claim new professionals to work under supervision and deepen their competence this way. Thus, the human resources and financial budgets might get better organised and become more productive whilst remaining cost effective – benefiting both employers and employees.
