Psychology

Psychology is an empirical science that deals with the experiences and behavior of humans in research and instruction. Psychological assumptions and theories are tested on the basis of observations and data from scientific experiments. The foundations courses focus on basic questions: How do people solve problems and make decisions? What makes each of us into a distinctive individual? The methods courses teach skills in the organization (planning experiments) and implementation of research methods (conducting interviews, diagnosing achievement and personality). In the practical courses, students acquire practical skills on the basis of the knowledge learned in the foundations courses, e.g., classification of psychological disorders, family counseling, or selection of personnel.
