On May 29, 2026, master’s students of the Educational and Professional Program “Psychology of Training Work” successfully presented and defended the results of their professional internship, which took place from March 23 to April 11, 2026.

Thanks to the fruitful cooperation between the Department of Psychology and its stakeholders and employers, the internship placements covered a wide range of social sectors. This year, students developed their practical skills in educational institutions, inclusive resource and rehabilitation centers, public authorities, non-governmental and charitable organizations, military units, and other settings. A distinctive feature of the internship was the students’ engagement in real professional environments, which is a key factor in ensuring high-quality professional training and the development of future psychologist-trainers.
