Psychotherapy at the University of Vienna

The Postgraduate Center of the University of Vienna offers the entire psychotherapy education leading to an academic degree at a public university. The first step can be completed both in the form of the preparatory course in psychotherapy (Propädeutikum) as well as in the form of the new bachelor program in Foundations of Psychotherapy.. In cooperation with established educational institutions, the subject-specific offer for the second stage of education covers all four clusters of psychotherapy (psychodynamic, humanistic, systemic and behavioral therapy). In addition to the already existing psychotherapeutic specialties at the University of Vienna, further offers are being developed. A new master's program has already been set up in accordance with the new Psychotherapy Act.

The aim of the psychotherapy education at the Postgraduate Center of the University of Vienna is to interlace the psychotherapeutic practical orientation with scientific quality and expertise. In this way, the Postgraduate Center makes a significant contribution to the academization of psychotherapy education in Austria.
