V roce 1851 se Wund zaměřil na Univerzitu Tubingenta na studium medicíny.

Učitel v Heidelbergu
V roce 1857 absolvoval Wund kurz experimentální fyziologie na univerzitě v Heidelbergu. V témže roce byl Wund vážnou nemocí.
In1858,HermannvonHelmholtzcametoHeidelbergUniversityasaprofessorattheInstituteofPhysiology,andWundtbecamehislaboratoryassistant.
In1862,Wundtopenedthe"PsychologyofNaturalScience"course(laterchangedto"PhysiologicalPsychology"),andtheterm"experimentalpsychology"wasfirstproposedthatyear.Inthiscourse,hebegantostudypsychologyusingexperimentalmethodsfromnaturalsciencesandneurophysiologicalresearchresults.
V roce 1864 byl povýšen na přidruženého profesora.

Lipské učení a odchod do důchodu
V roce 1875 žije Wundtwashire jako profesor filozofie na univerzitě v Lipsku a od té doby žije v Lipsku.

V roce 1881 založil Wundt časopis "Philosophical Research". Toto je první odborný časopis experimentální psychologie.
1889-90, působil jako prezident Lipské univerzity.
V roce 1917 odešel z učení a byl úspěšný jeho studentem Felixem Krugerem.

31. srpna 1920 zemřel Wundt ve Velkém Bottenu u Lipska ve věku 88 let. V tom roce vyšlo desetidílné mistrovské dílo „Národní psychologie“, které trvalo 20 let, než bylo dokončeno.

Psychologická nezávislost
I když psychologie má dlouhou historii ,nemá dlouhodobě nezávislý stav kvůli složitosti a nejistotě výzkumných objektů. S rozvojem kapitalistického průmyslu a vedoucím pokrokem ve vědě a technologii se volání po nezávislosti psychologie.využívá. experimentální psychologie na dobrém začátku, ale účelem jeho výzkumu bylo obhájit své filozofické názory, nevytvářet vědeckou psychologii. z filozofie a přírodních věd. V roce 1879 předsedal založení první světové laboratoře věnované psychologickému výzkumu a zavedl nový experimentální psychologický systém využívající experimentálních metod, čímž oficiálně prohlásil vznik psychologie.
