PSYCHOLOGY

Why Study Psychology?

Psychology is both an academic discipline and a profession. It is a fascinating science of behaviour and the mind. A science of behaviour and the mind, it straddles many academic disciplines in the social sciences (e.g. sociology), natural sciences (e.g. biology – biological bases of behaviour) and humanities (e.g. philosophy). Psychologists study the interconnectedness of the environmental, biological, and psychological factors in trying to understand behaviour and the mind.

When starting your Psychology studies journey at IIE MSA, you will be exposed to different branches of psychology including, but not limited to, social psychology, sensation and perception, personality psychology, cognitive psychology, abnormal psychology/psychopathology, research design and analysis (both quantitative and qualitative techniques) etc. You will then progress to engage at a deeper level with the introductory concepts from which you can shape your career in the field.
