Does the Master has to be similar to the Bachelor

Does the Master has to be similar to the Bachelor ?
Hey, I am an Austrian student, studying in Milan and doing the Bachelor in "International economics and management" and I am finishing this summer. Directly afterwards I would like to do the Master in psychology!!! Do you know if it is it possible ? I already looked at some possible Universities but they all state, that I need at least a basic bachelor in psychology to do the Master in it. Would be really nice, if you could help me. Do you know any good Universities where it is possible to do it ? Is there any rule? Thank you very much in advance, m_riccabona

In the US, no, that wouldn't be possible. There are some masters programs you can enter with any major, but the sciences and engineering are not among them. To get a masters in psychology, you'd need significant coursework in psychology - they're not starting over at the beginning and those programs are very competitive to enter.

Sometimes schools will let you start graduate school in a subject that you did not take as an undergraduate if you first enter as a temporary non-degree graduate student and take all the necessary undergraduate pre-requisites. These courses will not count towards your graduate degree, but they will make you qualified to enter the graduate degree program. You will have to ask the universities if they would accept you under these conditions.
