    About the Programme

    While our knowledge of physical health has advanced in leaps and bounds, much of the human mind remains shrouded in mystery. What factors affect the ways we think, feel, and behave? How can we leverage what we know to make a positive impact on ourselves and society as a whole? These are the lines of enquiry that define psychology as a field of study.

    Throughout the programme, we will delve into every facet of the science – from diverse perspectives to subsets in the field (e.g. developmental psychology, social psychology). As a graduate, you will be equipped with a holistic understanding of how to navigate this complex, nuanced field.
