Chillout Studies
Why choose this field of study?
The fast pace of life, competition, the ever-increasing number of roles and challenges we want to meet, the flurry of stimuli caused by the technological revolution – all of this has made living under chronic stress second nature to modern man. Permanent tension adversely affects physical and mental health, which is why more and more people are seeking professional help from experts in the field of positive psychology, which focuses on the scientific basis of feelings of happiness, well-being and relaxation. If you want to become one of them and thus gain a profession of the future – choose to study the innovative Chillout Studies course at the University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw.
During your studies, you will gain fascinating knowledge in the fields of psychology, neuropsychology and cognitive science, studying cognitive processes, psychophysical reactions, as well as external factors and sensory experiences that influence the perception of stress or a relaxed state. The programme also covers social psychology, with a focus on stress management in the workplace, motivating employees or implementing work-life balance. Practical classes are the key to understanding theory, which is why trainings, workshops and laboratories are an integral part of the studies, e.g. in the areas of interpersonal skills, coping with stress symptoms, neurofeedback (brain training) and creating relaxation spaces.
