Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology Career

Career perspectives

The BSc in Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology at Constructor University opens doors for a professional career and lays the groundwork for an academic career, especially in an international context. You will be a strong candidate for junior positions in all jobs that require skills in analyzing, designing, or improving human interaction, presentation, and communication. Therefore, your career opportunities will be in fields such as advertising, counseling, diversity management health promotion, human resource management, intercultural relations, management consulting, market research, media, as well as applied research in companies, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations.

Moreover, you will be well prepared for international specialized Master programs in psychology and its neighboring fields, as well as for integrated, research-focused Master-PhD programs.

Requirements to practice in psychology differ by country, and often even by state. Please check the requirements of the respective country or state. A degree in ISCP qualifies for entry into many accredited M.Sc. programs in the U.S., the UK and other countries that in turn are requirements for licensure in those countries. For details, please check the respective university webpages. Given its interdisciplinary focus, a degree in ISCP does not guarantee admission to general Master programs in Psychology or Psychotherapy at German universities and hence does not prepare for licensure as a Psychotherapist in Germany. For more information, please see the website of the German Society of Psychology DGPs (in German only).

BA Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology | 2016
Nationality: Ukrainian

I would say that from the first day I stepped foot on campus, everything I experienced was beyond what I was expecting.

I decided to follow a professional path that was in quite a different field than my initial field of study. I studied ISCP (Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology), but early on realized that I am interested in a career in consulting, so the question was just how to make it happen. The program itself helped me develop skills in statistics and research analysis, as well as the ability to quickly develop knowledge of new concepts and learn efficiently, which are both essential skills for consulting.

Jacobs taught me how to get out of my comfort zone.

Simply, Jacobs was the only university that offered an education in a place with people from so many different countries, which was very valuable for me. I spent most of my life in one country with people from a similar background, and this opportunity was one that I could not ignore.
