Master Psychologie — Prévention

For Master Psychologie — Prévention, tuition costs 250 EUR per year.

Prevention within psychology focuses on identifying risk factors for psychological and social difficulties and designing interventions that reduce their occurrence or impact before problems become severe. This master's program, offered under the track Prévention at Université Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambery, France, typically covers subjects such as public health psychology, risk assessment, community intervention design, and the psychological factors that contribute to behaviors like substance use, violence, or social exclusion. Students pursuing this type of degree generally learn how to design and evaluate prevention programs, understand the social and psychological determinants of health and wellbeing, and work with individuals or communities to reduce risk before crises develop. Coursework commonly includes psychopathology, social psychology, program evaluation methods, and public health approaches, often combined with fieldwork or internships in organizations that carry out prevention work. Graduates from prevention-focused psychology programs commonly pursue careers in public health agencies, community organizations, schools, and social services, working on programs related to mental health promotion, substance use prevention, and broader social intervention initiatives. This master's degree spans two years, with instruction delivered in French. Classes are expected to begin in September, and the yearly tuition is 250 EUR. As the program is taught in French, applicants should be comfortable studying psychological and public health material in that language. Programs of this kind generally combine theoretical training in psychology and public health with applied project work, preparing graduates to design and carry out interventions aimed at preventing psychological and social difficulties before they escalate.
