A cooperation in practice
PsyPRA - Internships across Switzerland
PsyPRA is the national internship platform for psychology students in Switzerland. It was originally developed by psyCH, later went offline, and was relaunched during the association's renewal. The current platform was rebuilt with Hogrefe AG and Sina Heger from Psychologie und denn? and is hosted on PsychJOB. It gives students a central place to find psychology internships across Switzerland.
Developed with Hogrefe AG and Psychologie und denn?.
Who we connect with
A useful collaboration starts with a shared purpose. We welcome conversations with organizations whose work connects with psychology students, whether the idea is a single event or a longer relationship.

Public and nonprofit institutions
Organizations in education, health and civil society offer possibilities for knowledge exchange, student representation and projects with a public benefit.
Student initiatives and networks
Student-led projects, campaigns and networks can bring people together around a shared topic, idea or goal. They create space for exchange, peer learning and collaboration beyond individual universities.
Companies and service providers
Publishers, training providers, platforms and other organizations can contribute knowledge, resources or practical support that fits our mission.
