Psychology is a scientific discipline that employs systematic methods of inquiry to study and explain human behavior, in terms of underlying variables such as neural, physiological, and cognitive processes; developmental factors and individual differences; and social and interpersonal influences and contexts.
The undergraduate curriculum of the Psychology Department in Izmir Economics University has been designed to introduce the breadth of psychology in terms of both the range of behavioral phenomena studied and the variety of methods and theoretical approaches employed. Beyond introductory courses, students can take specialized courses in areas such as, learning and memory, motivation, perception, cognition, measurement, personality, and clinical, developmental, social, industrial and organizational psychology.
The curriculum also provides opportunities for research experience, by participation with faculty and graduate students in research projects as well as field practice.
