Oktatás célja

The psychology course develops understandings of psychological processes and human behavior and provides opportunities to increase your practical skills in communication, group work, and critical thinking. Besides the main paradigms in psychology, we consider an essential part of our course psychological perspectives on human diversity and social inclusion Culture is also an important factor if we want to understand better human beings so we can take a look at psychological functioning through the lens of culture (for example individualism/collectivism, religious, ethnic membership, and so on). The course provides opportunities for students to work in small groups and deepen their knowledge on a chosen topic related to the field of Psychology This is not a practitioner course, so you will not learn counseling and/or psychotherapeutic skills or techniques, it will serve as an introduction to the diverse perspectives, key ideas, and concepts, the historical development of the theoretical basis of contemporary psychology. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the science of psychology.
