Description

Psychology is an academic subject which encompasses a wide range of sub-areas such as health management, normal and pathological behavior, emotion, well-being, cognition, neurosciences, social interactions and motivation. It considers the interplay between physical, psychological, cultural, religious and social influences in order to understand why people behave the way that they do. At the IOU, we aim at offering students a broad education in the different sub-disciplines of psychology, including courses of Islamic studies, applied clinical training, and complementary subjects for the psychological professional, such as guidance and counselling, computers and I.T., English language and professional development.

The Bachelor’s of Science degree program aims to train students through a systematic and scientific study of human behaviors and experiences, and to develop their ability to evaluate critical theories and evidence in the psychological and human sciences. In addition, the program aims to develop the students’ practical skills to enable them for further training in academic psychology and research or pursue careers in a number of areas of employment, from social to clinical, from learning to workplace.
