Psychology
The Bachelor – which does not confer the necessary skills for independent professional practice in Psychology – aims to provide basic training in all domains of Psychology and related areas (indispensable for understanding, interpreting and explaining the object of study in Psychology, i.e., human behavior and cognition), involving the knowledge of theories and methods, the training of basic skills, as well as the acquisition of general knowledge and research skills inPsychology and the development of academic skills.
Therefore, it intends to ensure the necessary basic knowledge for the continuity of academic studies and for a future qualification as a psychologist according to the recommendations of Europsy and the Portuguese Psychologists Order, through a curricular plan that allows the mastery of theoretical and empirical knowledge and the development of skills that allow its application to the diverse areas of Psychology.

Considering that until now FPUL only offered an Integrated Master in Psychology, there is no analysis of employability after the 1st cycle (it should also be noted that Bachelor is not enough to exercise the activity as psychologist).
Considering the MIP, the employability of FPUL graduates is high. According to the results of the UL Graduate Employability Survey, in the 2017 edition (2015 graduates), 87% of the FP graduates were employed, indicating that FPUL’s employability of graduates is high. Of these, 70% were employed in sectors of activity related to their area of training. According to the DGEEC, in December 2018, only 8.7% of FPUL graduates were registered with the IEFP as unemployed. This rate is lower than the national average in Psychology (8.9%, according to INE).
