This department aims at raising the open-minded specialist who can share his knowledge in his respective fields and communicate effectively. It is a well-known fact that Psychology is an important behavioural science that includes the cognitive processes. In this context, it is apparent that, in the globalized world, the importance of Psychology in starting an environment of dialogues that comes out of cross-cultural relations can not be ignored. Students in our department are equipped with knowledge that Psychology comprises a main axis, but they are also trained with the belief that Psychology is an important interdisciplinary field of science obliged to look at the human being in his concrete wholeness.

This concrete wholeness makes it necessary to understand man from view points of different disciplines and to support Psychology with other scientific activities. Within this framework, one of the educational programs of the European Union, the Leonardo Da Vinci Program is being implemented. 

Strengthening the observational side of a Psychologist with an analytical and problem solving thinking ability is a great factor in his success. Thus, we educate our students as individuals who can think associatively. 

In the process of teaching Psychology, with the consciousness of the importance of its application, we provide our students the opportunity to practice in various settings, in all levels from school to home to office to factory.

We also ensure our students become competent in statistics, which is an essential course of Behavioural Sciences. Our students take English courses for four years during their undergraduate studies in addition to the one-year compulsory preparatory English education. This allows them to effectively follow pertinent literature in the field. Social and cultural activities contributing to the development of the students are customarily organized within our department. Our goal is to educate psychologists who can internalize their knowledge with humanistic attitudes, being at peace within themselves, and who can view the world from the viewpoint of others.
