Students in Psychology Major can gain solid expertise with which they can respond to the needs of today’s society.
The goals of the Psychology Department are to conduct research in fundamental areas of psychology and to foster high-level practitioners.
Our department devotes its efforts to developing a curriculum that includes such subjects as developmental psychology, psychology of children and adults with disabilities, clinical psychology, psychiatric medicine, social psychology, and physiopsychology, with emphasis on practical training.
The goal of the curriculum is to foster competent professionals who can help meeting the needs of today’s society by seeking to understand the human psyche and offering supports to those in need.
Our Master’s Course offers 2 paths for students to choose from: Educational and Developmental Psychology, and Clinical Psychology.
The Educational Psychology Course aims to foster and improve the skills of such professionals as researchers of fundamental psychology, teachers, caretakers of disabled children and adults, those in the child care profession, and those who work as supporters of adults and senior citizens.
Students of the Clinical Psychology Course learn the fundamentals of clinical psychology and a wide range of theories and receive extensive practical training in order that they may understand the problems of the human psyche and offer appropriate help.
Our Doctoral Course offers a curriculum that is founded on 2 main areas of studies: Educational and Developmental Psychology and Clinical Psychology.
The Doctoral Course aims to foster researchers and teachers of practitioners in each of these 2 fields of psychology. By offering special practical training and lectures in these 2 areas, we aim to instill in our students the ability to avoid placing disproportionate emphasis in their own area of specialty and to conduct research with a broad, unbiased perspective.
We deploy teachers with a doctorate in order to give abundant research instruction.
