Psychology Education
Psychology training is only delivered by the Université
du Luxembourg (UdL). The UdL was founded in 2003. It is a multilingual
institution (lectures are held in English, French and/or German) and strongly
focuses on research. From the academic year 2005/2006 graduations as ‘Bachelor
of Sciences - Psychology’ (3 year-studies), as ‘Master of
Sciences in Psychology: Evaluation and Assessment’ (2 year-studies)
as well as from 2011 as ‘Master in psychotherapy’ are offered
from the UdL.
Admission requirements to study psychology at a Bachelor level is a secondary
school diploma or vocational education; leaver’s certificate or
foreign diploma recognized as equivalent by the Ministry responsible for
National Education. Students must be trilingual (German, French and English).
Tuition fees are €100 a year (http:// www.uni.lu).
The continuously growing number of students in psychology at the UdL leads
to the conclusion that psychology is a very attractive field to study
at the UdL.

The Luxembourg Psychological Society (Société
Luxembourgeoise de Psychologie, SLP; member of EFPA) was founded in 1985.
Comprising practitioners (including those specialized in psychotherapy)
as well as academics and researchers in the field of psychology, SLP represents
the plurality of Luxembourg's professional psychologists: http://www.slp.lu.
As the exercise of psychology in Luxembourg is not regulated by law, except
in the public service domain, the SLP established the Luxembourg Directory
of Certified Psychologists (PSYLUX). The PSYLUX directory provides the guarantee
to find a psychologist who is adequately trained, highly qualified and answerable
to an ethical committee for his/her professional actions: http://www.psylux.lu

In 1997, the Luxembourgish Association of Psychology Students (Association
