The discipline of psychology is dedicated to increasing the scientific understanding of behaviour and mental processes at the intrapersonal, interpersonal and group level, and to the application of that understanding to enhance the functioning of individuals, groups, and society. In line with this mission, the Undergraduate Program in Psychology has a threefold mission: to advance and transmit knowledge related to the nature of psychological processes and functioning, to provide a strong foundation in the basic knowledge and skills necessary for research in psychology, and to sensitise students to the applications of psychology in the wider community. This mission embodies the main elements of AUB Mediterraneo's mission which are to foster freedom of thought, respect for diversity, critical thinking, personal integrity, and civic engagement.
After completing the BS degree, students are usually recommended to continue with graduate studies. This helps to specialize and focus on a sub-discipline in psychology.
The career options for psychologists range from work in educational and clinical settings to work in research institutions and wider industries. Depending on the area of specialization, psychologists acquire skills necessary to work in the below fields.

Το Τμήμα Ψυχολογίας προσφέρει ένα ευρύ φάσμα μαθημάτων σε όλους τους βασικούς επιμέρους κλάδους της ψυχολογίας: ψυχολογία κοινωνικής και προσωπικότητας, κλινική και μη φυσιολογική ψυχολογία και γνωσιακή και νευροεπιστήμη. Περιστασιακά, το τμήμα προσφέρει μαθήματα επισκεπτών στους τομείς της εγκληματολογικής ψυχολογίας, του τραύματος, της σεξουαλικότητας, της βιομηχανικής ψυχολογίας και άλλων. Οι μαθητές αποκτούν πρακτική εμπειρία στην έρευνα στο τέταρτο έτος τους μέσω του έργου προπτυχιακής διατριβής. Οι μαθητές έχουν επίσης την ευκαιρία να μάθουν περισσότερα για την έρευνα μέσω συνεδρίων τμημάτων, στα οποία διεθνείς και τοπικοί ομιλητές παρουσιάζουν την τελευταία τους εργασία σε διάφορα θέματα.
Δραστηριότητες Φοιτητών:
Εκτός από το ολοκληρωμένο προπτυχιακό πρόγραμμα σπουδών, οι μαθητές μας έχουν την ευκαιρία να αποκτήσουν πρακτική εμπειρία μέσω της εθελοντικής εργασίας και της συμμετοχής στην κοινότητα, καθώς και ερευνητικών βοηθών που τους προετοιμάζουν για εφαρμοσμένη ψυχολογική εργασία. Αυτό γίνεται εφικτό μέσω των συνεργασιών μας με τοπικές ΜΚΟ, οι οποίες ωφελούν τόσο τις ΜΚΟ όσο και τους μαθητές μας.
