Who are we?

Teaching, research, jobs, events: the University of Fribourg is a space for innovation and an important driver for the economic and cultural life of the region. It attracts students and researchers from all over Switzerland and the world, shaping the daily life of the bilingual city of Fribourg since its foundation in 1889.

The Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Health Psychology is a specialisation course (postgraduate training) recognised at the federal level (FOPH). It consists notably of three Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS) which can also be taken independently of the MAS. Its mission is to train health psychologists capable of practising their profession independently and leads to the Federal Title of Health Psychologist. It is offered by the University of Fribourg (leading house) in collaboration with the Universities of Lausanne and Geneva.

To ensure the monitoring and development of the training, the Steering Committee (Prof. C. Martin Sölch, chair) is advertising the position of training coordinator, based at the University of Fribourg.
