Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Sep 1, 2021 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Global-MINDS is the European Master in the Psychology of Global Mobility, Inclusion and Diversity in Society. It is a comprehensive 2- year study programme with 120 ECTS focusing on insights from Social and Cultural Psychology for contemporary social and societal issues. Universities from five countries jointly deliver the Global-MINDS programme in English and award graduates with a joint master degree:• ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute (ISCTE-IUL), Portugal• University of Oslo (UiO), Norway • University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS), Poland• Koç University (KU), Turkey• University of Limerick (UL), IrelandEach of these institutions is expert in their respective part of the Global-MINDS educational programme. A group of world-leading scholars from different countries also contributes to the delivery and quality assurance of the programme. An international network of associate partners – private companies, civil society organizations, public service providers, practitioners, policy makers, governmental organizations and NGOs – assures high quality student internships and assistance in graduate’s employment. Global-MINDS students start either at ISCTE-IUL or at SWPS. They then spend their 2nd semester at one of the other three Partner Universities. Three mobility paths, focusing on a specific social and societal issue, ensure that students experience the highest level of diversity in regard to cultural, socio-economic, academic conditions and educational contents:Path A. Diversity & Inclusion (ISCTE-IUL, then UL)Path B. Global Mobility & Acculturation (ISCTE-IUL or SWPS, then UiO)Path C. Culture & Organizations (SWPS, then KU)Students can stay at the chosen university after the second semester or opt for additional mobility tracks to any of the Partner Institutions for their third (internship) and fourth semester (master thesis).Global-MINDS is a unique study programme with an internationalization component that is indispensable for such a master. It is aimed at students with a Bachelor (or similar) degree in psychology. This ensures that the programme complies with international legal requirements regarding the registration and use of the title ´psychologist´, therefore, significantly improving the employability of psychology graduates.Students receive a thorough training in subject skills as well as intercultural skills – assets that are indispensable in today´s global knowledge economy and multicultural working environments. Moreover, recent societal challenges such as Europe’s refugee crisis or the rise of political extremism call for experts to tackle pressing issues of mobility, inclusion and diversity. In Europe and across the globe, well-trained specialists in intergroup relations and cultural diversity are needed to prevent marginalization, conflict and violence and promote inclusion, social equality and collaboration. Global-MINDS is a timely master programme that responds to these needs.
