About The Department

Our comprehensive curriculum spans the full spectrum of psychology—from typical to atypical behavior, and from individual assessment to community-level interventions. Courses integrate theory with hands-on practice so students translate concepts into real-world applications in counseling, assessment, and research.

A state-of-the-art psychology laboratory houses contemporary psychometric and psychological instruments, enabling accurate assessment and experimental work. The department’s library provides an extensive collection of books, research publications, and encyclopedias that support advanced study and scholarship.
