The curriculum of the first phase of the program, which is based on Europsy (European Certificate in Psychology), is built on two important components: knowledge and skills. In this regard, knowledge is divided into explanatory theories (which are organized by content, eg introduction to psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, cognitive psychology, etc.), technological theory and methodological theory (eg statistics, qualitative and quantitative methods, etc.). Skills are divided into explanatory theories (including, for example, interviewing methods), technological theories (e.g., data processing and analysis), and academic skills (e.g., writing skills), and methodological skills.
In addition, there is also space in the part of knowledge for specific fields such as sociology, philosophy, education, as well as subjects from non-psychological theories, etc.
