Psychology

Students seeking to sharpen their skills should consider the Psychology (MSc Thesis) program. It gives them the choice of learning scientific methods to collect data – as well as specialized training – in three areas. Faculty members in Industrial-Organizational Psychology are concerned with individual and group behaviour, as well as the relationships of organization-wide variables to individuals and groups in work settings. Social and Theoretical Psychology involves social and cultural relations, as well as foundational and philosophical questions in psychology. Brain and Cognitive Science looks at the mental processes and brain structures involved in movement, perception, learning, memory, and understanding language.
