Abstract
Problem-based learning (PBL) is widely recognised as a pedagogical approach across disciplines. However, the relevance and application of PBL in psychology has received limited attention. Therefore, this article presents a PBL-based master degree programme for psychologists. The article is divided into three sections. First, we present the rationale and need for developing this programme. Secondly, the programme curriculum is described in details and, third, the programme’s practical and theoretical aspects and potentials are discussed in light of PBL principles.
