e-Environmental Psychology

Environmental psychology explores the relationship between people and their surroundings. This course provides theoretical knowledge about how the environment affects individual behaviour, emotions and health. You will gain an understanding of environmental psychology perspectives on the design and use of both indoor and outdoor spaces – from homes and workplaces to public areas.

You will also learn about different methods and applications within environmental psychology, such as how researchers measure people’s experiences of environments and how the results can be used to improve design and functionality. The course is ideal for anyone interested in psychology, sustainability and how environments can promote well-being.

Language of instruction: English.

Course syllabus

The syllabus contains the formal and legal details of the entire course. It’s a legal document outlining the course structure and requirements, intended mainly for administrative use.

Your studies combine lectures, seminars and practical exercises. You will work with real-world examples to gain an understanding of how environmental psychology may be applied in for instance, the planning of buildings, urban spaces and digital environments.

Assessment is based on written assignments and oral presentations where you demonstrate your ability to analyse the interaction between people and their environments.

The course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical tools that are valuable for careers in for example design, architecture, sustainability and behavioural science.
