The International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) Berlin, founded in 2009, fills a gap in academic psychology by teaching psychoanalysis as a central approach in research, teaching and practice. As the world's only psychoanalytic university, the IPU offers an unparalleled study program that focuses on the human being and the psyche. The IPU understands the human psyche as biologically, socially, and culturally shaped and promotes a deep understanding of the individual in the context of their history and under the influence of the unconscious.
At the IPU, experienced scientists teach and conduct research in a transdisciplinary environment that promotes dialogue between psychoanalysis and other disciplines. The close integration of theory and practice, research and clinical application enables students to gain practical experience and scientifically sound knowledge from the very beginning.
The IPU is characterized by its international networks and collaborations, which enrich both academic and practical work. With its central location in the heart of Berlin and modern learning conditions, the IPU offers optimal conditions for a successful degree in psychology.
