Established in 2002, Our department has had a long and successful history with many psychologists contributing to its success since its beginnings. The Department of Psychology is one of six academic units in the Faculty of Education.
Great effort is expended in developing students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We desire that these students be equipped with the knowledge and methods that will place them at the forefront of progress in the psychological disciplines as we enter the twenty-first century.
Courses Offered
Psychology students will learn about the feelings that humans experience, what motivates us and how we interact with each other. Many psychology graduates will go on to careers as professional psychologists, however, a degree in psychology can also lead to careers in childcare, social work or in the legal profession.
