Program overview
Psychology is the science of human thought, emotion, and behavior. At the graduate level, you will delve into core courses such as cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, experimental design, and statistical analysis, and also explore areas like psychometrics, clinical psychology, and neuroscience. This major suits students who are curious about people, enjoy analyzing problems, have empathy, and think logically. Chinese universities have distinctive strengths in psychology, such as Beijing Normal University's cognitive neuroscience, East China Normal University's industrial and organizational psychology, and Peking University's clinical psychology, all equipped with advanced labs and rich cross-cultural research projects. If you're interested in "why people think and act the way they do," psychology provides systematic answers.
