Bachelor in Psychology

Psychology studies human behavior, cognition, and emotion through both experimental and applied approaches. Students take core coursework in developmental, cognitive, social, and clinical psychology, along with statistics and research methods used to design and interpret psychological studies. Laboratory and practicum components give students experience with observation, testing, and data analysis techniques used in psychological research and practice. Graduates pursue careers in counseling, human resources, market research, social services, and education, or continue to graduate study in clinical, counseling, or organizational psychology. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Maltepe University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Maltepe University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
