Department of Psychology

General Information about the Department

In today's world, the importance of psychology is increasing in every sphere of life. At the same time, as a result of the prevalence of psychology, misinterpretation and misapplication of psychological approaches are very common in society. One of our main goals as a department is to share scientific and up-to-date information in the field of psychology through theoretical and practical courses with our students. Our other main goal is to raise individuals with competence and self-confidence that can contribute to their academic and practical psychological fields in the future.

Our department was indeed established a long time ago in 1993 and plans to welcome the first-time students very newly in the academic year of 2021-2022. We currently consist of six faculty members, who are keen on following the very recent developments in the field of psychology. We also expect new people to our department in a few years with interests in different sub-fields of psychology. Accordingly, we want our undergraduates to be equipped with basic as well as current knowledge about various sub-areas of psychology like social, developmental, experimental, clinical and organizational psychology and make them acquire skills of scientific thinking, research, and practice. Having our first-time graduates, we are also enthusiastic about getting started with our graduate programs and having students looking forward to expertise in different sub-areas of psychology.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of our department can work in many different fields in the public and private spheres; such as institutions and organizations regulated by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, kindergartens, daycares, nurseries, research centers, non-governmental organizations, public health centers, human resources, media organizations, and survey companies. It is also possible to follow the psychology graduate programs and continue the studies in the academic field.

Why international students should choose your department to study?

As the members of the Department of Psychology, our goal is to provide our graduates with the opportunity to use the basic and current concepts, theories and applications of psychology to improve and enhance individual and social welfare in institutions and organizations affiliated with the state or private sector in Turkey and abroad.

The faculty members of the department have specific research interests and areas of expertise that can offer international students the opportunity to work as research assistants for projects leaded by faculty members. Accordingly, students who graduate from our program can contribute to international scientific literature, and play an important role in the development of the field of psychology by leading the training of qualified psychologists in the future.

The medium of instruction in our Department is partly (30%) English. Our faculty members can offer courses in English. So, international students might be comfortable with following the lessons and can actively participate in class discussions. They can also be able to read scientific books and articles which are available only in English and follow the latest discoveries in psychology.

It may also be relatively easy for them to adapt to both an academic and social environment.
