In the Master’s Program students are provided specialized knowledge and techniques in psychology, enabling students to research all aspects of psychological development and to manage adaptive personal relationship. The program therefore offers a fundamental and comprehensive curriculum covering the functions, mechanisms, and development of human mind, as well as the method of understanding and providing support for individuals with developmental disabilities. Students are expected to combine clinical and practical understanding and knowledge about fundamental theories in psychology, by taking these classes both in Clinical Psychology Course and in this course. Potential careers include local officials as psychologist, government officials (for example, family court probation officer, discrimination officer), local officials in general, and workers in private corporations.
The Doctoral Program is a continuation of the courses completed during the Master’s Program (including the clinical psychology course). It is necessary for understanding of life-span development to inquiry issues in personality development or developmental psychology, and psychological problems of adaptation, mental health, mental disorder, and developmental disabilities. Students will acquire a deeper, specialized understanding of psychological development throughout life span, and undertake a multifaceted and comprehensive approach to topics that require further research to publish their own research. The program also enables students to develop educational skills in preparation to be a teaching staff at a university following the completion of their course. Potential careers that students may pursue after completing the Doctoral Program include research positions at universities and other educational establishments.
