About International Psychoanalytic University Berlin

not for profit · University

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, IPU offers an unparalleled program of study that places the human psyche at its center. The IPU understands the human psyche as shaped by biological, social, and cultural factors, and promotes a deep understanding of the individual in the context of their history and under the influence of the unconscious. Experienced researchers and academics at the IPU work 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 gather practical experience and scientifically grounded knowledge from the outset. The IPU is distinguished by its international networks and partnerships, which enrich both academic and practical work. With its central location in the heart of Berlin and modern learning facilities, IPU provides optimal conditions for a successful psychology education. The university is a presence-based institution (Präsenz-Universität) offering Bachelor's and Master's programs in psychology and psychotherapy, alongside doctoral studies and continuing education.
