PSYCHOLOGY
Short Description
Psychology is the scientific study of all aspects of human behaviour. Psychologists are interested in better understanding sensation, perception, cognition, emotion, personality, human development and abnormal behaviour. The undergraduate programme balances theory and application to provide students with the basic knowledge and research methods required in the study of psychology, and a strong foundation for public service and further studies in psychology and other disciplines. The cross-cultural orientation of the Department's teaching and research provides students with an international perspective for their future career development in a global setting.
Psychology is closely related to other subject areas that involve the study of human behaviour, and students who are familiar with psychology will find it easy to pick up these other subject areas.
Our undergraduate curriculum is comprehensive, offering more than 40 courses in various research areas. In addition to basic courses, such as General Psychology and Introduction to Statistics and Research Methods, the following five areas of concentrations are available:
- Cognitive Science: The study of memory, cognition, language, and human intelligence, and their neural underpinnings.
- Education and Human Development: The psychology of personal growth, educational psychology, and the psychology of child, adolescence and adults from a developmental perspective.
- Social and Industrial-Organisational Psychology: Social, cross-cultural, and industrial and organisational psychology.
- Clinical and Health Psychology: Abnormal and health psychology, neuropsychology and related areas.
- Training in Guided Self-Help for Low Intensity Psychological Interventions: Application of evidence-based psychological principles in the treatment of common mental disorders and the promotion of mental health using the guided self-help approach.
This programme appeals to motivated and energetic students who are interested in understanding and studying behaviour. It also intrigues students with analytical minds who enjoy the process of conducting scientific research.
