As a Psychology student at EUC you gain an understanding of why people behave in a certain way or how to overcome negative patterns of behavior that could prevent them from reaching their full potential. Grounded in practice and theory, the program focuses on understanding how people think, develop, and interact. Students learn how the brain works, how it changes with age, and how humans perceive and interpret behavior. The program also emphasizes the social and educational aspects of psychology, as well as the qualitative and quantitative skills required for research and practice in the field. The degree provides practical training in research, under the supervision of department faculty. Our graduates are well prepared for further study which allows them to specialize in areas such as Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Counselling and Guidance. Our students who pursue postgraduate studies are eligible for registration with the Cyprus Registration Board for Professional Psychologists.
Cyprus Psychological Association
Graduates will be eligible to register with Cyprus Professional and Scientific Psychological Association provided they continue for a Master degree in a related field (i.e. Clinical Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Organizational Psychology etc.). The MSc degree in Clinical or Counseling Psychology of EUC is officially recognized for registration with the Cyprus Professional and Scientific Psychological Association.
Hands-on Experience
A key element of the EUC Psychology degree is the hands-on experience that students benefit throughout their studies. Besides the know-how students gain at our campus counseling center, the degree provides a unique opportunity for students to enhance their skills and knowledge base via a variety of off campus experiences. Volunteerism, field work, observations, conferences and field trips, help students to build on their psychology qualifications and gain a competitive advantage in the graduate jobs market or when applying for further studies.
Blackboard Learn Platform
The program is offered on the Virtual Campus via the Blackboard Learn platform which provides access to learning resources and content and ensures interaction in synchronous and asynchronous forms. Our pedagogical model includes three fundamental elements that all come together when designing learning activities: the learning resources, collaboration (between students and students-instructors), and guidance (from the academic and administrative staff of European University Cyprus).
