Bachelor in Psychology

Tuition fees are 3,700 USD per year.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, spanning how people think, feel, develop, and interact with others. Coursework typically covers general and developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, personality theory, research methods and statistics, and an introduction to clinical and counseling approaches, often paired with practical or observational work later in the program. Students learn to design and evaluate studies, apply psychological theory to real situations, and interpret behavioral and mental health data critically. Graduates pursue a range of paths, including roles in human resources, market research, education, and social services, while those seeking to practice as licensed psychologists or therapists typically continue into graduate study. This bachelor's program is offered at Haliç University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught entirely in English over a duration of 4 years. Studying in a large city like İstanbul offers access to diverse populations and settings relevant to psychological research and practice, from schools and hospitals to community organizations. An English-medium curriculum is useful preparation for psychology graduates, since much of the field's research literature and many international graduate programs operate in English. Across the four years, students generally move from broad foundational courses in psychological theory and methods toward more focused electives, allowing them to explore areas such as developmental, social, or clinical psychology before completing the degree.
