The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Psychology Program is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts, theories and applications of the science of psychology. In the first years of the program, students take core courses such as general psychology, research methods, statistics and biological foundations. These courses cover the scientific foundations of psychology and research techniques. Students learn the methodology and analytical thinking necessary to study human behavior and mental processes at this stage.
Later in their studies, students move on to more specialized courses. These courses include areas such as clinical psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, abnormal psychology and personality theories. Each area deals with different aspects of human psychology and how they operate in a variety of contexts, such as everyday life, health, social relationships and the work environment.
In addition, students are offered courses that develop their skills in critical thinking, ethical evaluation and scientific research. These courses strengthen students' ability to analyze psychological issues, develop hypotheses and conduct scientific research.
Applied psychology courses give students the chance to apply psychological theories and methods to real-world situations. Case studies, group projects and laboratory work play an important role in these courses. In this way, students have the opportunity to combine their theoretical knowledge with practice and prepare for real-life situations.
Internship and practicum opportunities offered as part of the curriculum enable students to gain professional experience. Internships allow students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the field of psychology in real working environments such as counseling centers, educational institutions, health centers.
As a result, the curriculum of the Psychology Undergraduate Program provides students with a comprehensive education in the field of psychology, while at the same time providing ample opportunities to develop their professional skills and prepare for their careers. This program both strengthens students' theoretical knowledge and helps them put this knowledge into practice through practical applications.
