Gain a biopsychosocial understanding of human behavior, namely, the biological, psychological, social determinants of behavior. |
|
3) |
Acquire theoretical and applied knowledge and learn about basic psychological concepts and perspectives |
|
4) |
Familiarize with methodology and data evaluation techniques by being aware of scientific research methods (i.e. correlational, experimental, longitudinal, case study). |
|
5) |
Employ ethical sensitivity while doing assessment, research or working with groups. |
|
6) |
Familiarize with the essential perspectives of psychology (cognitive, developmental, clinical, social, behavioral, and biological). |
|
7) |
Get the opportunity and skills to evaluate qualitative and quantitative data, write reports, and present them. |
