Dear students,
Psychology is one of the major scientific fields which combines education, research and practice that aims not only to improve people's psychological well-being but also reducing human suffering and contributing to individual and social development.
In the 4-year undergraduate program of our Psychology department, we offer our students a comprehensive curriculum that includes contemporary theoretical and applied fields of psychological science, teaching them to use and produce knowledge beyond acquiring it. As a team aiming to contribute to society and universal science, with our academic staff with high academic and practical competence, we provide environments and opportunities that support the academic, social and individual development of our students. In addition to our compulsory courses, we introduce different application areas of psychology to our students with departmental elective courses, and we ensure that learning and skill development continue outside the classroom through joint studies with our student clubs and other stakeholders. For this, we accept the principle of lifelong learning as a basis and ensure that our students enrich their learning experiences through extracurricular activities such as internships, research projects, seminars, congresses and conferences.
In addition to our Psychology Undergraduate Program, we also ensure that our students acquire the knowledge and skills to reduce human suffering and increase the psychological well-being of individuals through our high-quality Clinical Psychology Master's program. With our curriculum focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), we provide our students with the knowledge, skills, clinical experience and competencies necessary to be successful in this field through training and supervision processes.
We invite you to explore the dynamic and rapidly developing education and application areas of psychology with us, to meet our faculty members who are dedicated to creating a positive impact in the world, and to participate in our work that contributes to individual, social and universal development.
Welcome to Istanbul Kent University, Department of Psychology. Many possibilities and opportunities are waiting to be discovered here!
