Department "Study" by Dana Borger

For students

When I took over the study department, I honestly didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into and had respect for this new task. Thanks to the thorough training of Dominik Grolimund and the patient Mirjam Hasbi, I had the opportunity to get to know the association and especially the people who support it better. This made it clear to me what SBAP is all about; helping each other, inspiring each other and making new acquaintances.

This showed me - still in the middle of my studies and at the beginning of my professional journey - that the exchange with experienced psychologists does not have to be intimidating per se, but offers the opportunity to get to know supportive people in the notorious networking, which I would otherwise have met only much later in my professional life.

In order to gain insight into the professional world of psychologists, the SBAP also organizes company visits twice a year.

So if you have any questions and/or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me either at Toni (ZHAW) or via mail.

You are welcome to sign up for it.

Love greeting Dana

The three prizes are of equal value. The prize amount per prize is CHF 500.00 and 1 year membership in the SBAP (value CHF 600.00). A jury - professional representatives in the SBAP, the president of the SBAP as well as an expert of the Department of Applied Psychology - determines the prize winners. The selection criteria for the awarding of the prizes: The prizes are awarded to innovative Master's theses in applied psychology that explore new topics and address new, as yet little addressed issues in applied psychology/research. High quality is required in terms of content and form.
