Psychology

Psychology is everywhere: a conflict between friends, an elderly neighbour with Alzheimer’s who no longer remembers you, or the simple fact that you’re an early riser in a family of night owls.

What lies behind these everyday situations? What drives people’s actions? Why do they behave the way they do, and how do they experience the world around them? These are the kinds of questions psychologists seek to answer. In the bachelor’s programme in Psychology, you’ll develop key skills such as interviewing, observation, and working with statistical software. Psychology is a broad and versatile science, opening doors to a wide range of career paths. Whether in health care, education, business, or government, you’ll be equipped to make a meaningful impact.
