The undergraduate programme balances theory and practical applications to provide students with essential knowledge and research methods required in the study of psychology, while providing a solid foundation for public service and further studies in psychology and related disciplines. The cross-cultural orientation of the Department’s teaching and research exposes students to international perspectives for their future career development in a global setting. Psychology is closely related to other subject areas that involve the study of human nature. Students who are familiar with psychology will find it easy to pick up these other subject areas.
