At the Faculty of Psychology and Education at LMU Munich, we combine psychological, educational, and rehabilitation science perspectives to develop innovative solutions to key scientific and societal challenges. Our research is interdisciplinary in nature and includes collaboration across departments.

We benefit from excellent laboratory and infrastructure facilities as well as a diverse research environment. Our findings help us better understand and actively shape human experience and behavior, learning, education, socialization, and development across the entire lifespan.
Openness, transparency, and academic excellence form the foundation of our shared understanding of research.
We invite you to learn more about our research projects and findings.
The Transregio SHARP (TRR 419) Collaborative Research Center (“Simulation-Based Learning in Higher Education: From Process Diagnostics to Personalized Intervention”), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), aims to lay important groundwork for innovations in higher education.
Through personalized, simulation-based learning, students can be better prepared for the complex demands of professional practice. The Collaborative Research Center brings together the disciplines of medicine, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, education, and psychology. In addition to LMU and TUM, the University of Augsburg and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre are also participating.

Promoting Diagnostic Skills in Simulation-Based Learning Environments in Higher Education
The research group aims to analyze how simulation-based learning environments can be designed and implemented in higher education to instructionally promote the acquisition of diagnostic skills, particularly during the early and middle stages of skill development.
The research group’s particular innovative potential lies in the fact that researchers from the fields of medical education, mathematics education, physics education, and biology education, as well as from educational psychology and teaching/learning research, are collaborating on this topic. In recent years, intensive research on diagnosis has been conducted in these areas.
