What makes studying Psychotherapy Science at SFU so special?
Sigmund Freud Private University (SFU) is a unique institution that pioneered Psychotherapy Science as an academic programme. We were the first to introduce a university education in psychotherapy where academic and practical aspects work hand in hand and complement each other. We seek to set new standards for research and teaching by emphasising research activities, practical training, and academic exchange. Innovative and student-centred teaching, finding and filling promising research niches and being the intellectual home for students keen on learning and growing, makes us a unique place to study. Our international academic staff will guide you in the lectures and in our Outpatient Clinics. The study programmes in Psychotherapy Science at SFU Vienna are offered in English and German.
