The article deals with understandings that psychology students develop about the relationship of this science and profession with human rights. To this end, the article onlines a general overview about the history of human rights, being focused on different possibilities of their conceptions from a hegemonic vision, up to their perspective as a result of historical, social and cultural processes. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire with open questions was administered to psychology students. The collected information was analyzed by means of Thematic Content Analysis, in order to reveal two categories (nuclei of meaning): conceptions about human rights, and Psychology and human rights: Is it a necessary relationship? We conclude that the conceptions of human rights of the participating psychology students are mostly liberal and naturalistic, and they have the perception that the training provides limited theoretical and practical elements that allow the psychologist acts in accordance with the ideals of human rights.
