Department of Psychology

My name is Cansu Yılmaz. I am working as a Research Assistant at Anadolu University, Department of Psychology. Anadolu University Department of Psychology was established in 1993 and will accept its first students in the 2021-2022 academic year. There are faculty members working in different sub-fields of psychology in our department and we are planning to hire new members for the faculty. English preparatory education is compulsory in our department and 30% of the education is provided in English. The aim of the department is to investigate the human mind and behavior with scientific methods. Our department consists of theoretical, applied and research-oriented courses representing different sub-fields of psychology. The Research Applications course, which is planned as a graduation project, aims to provide students with research experience before they graduate. Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Cognitive Psychology courses can be given as examples of our compulsory courses. There are computer laboratories in our department that our students can use. We are aiming to establish observation and interview laboratories as soon as possible to enable research in other fields of psychology. In cooperation with the university, students will be able to participate in programs such as double major, minor and exchange programs. In our department, it is planned to offer volunteer internship opportunities to students. Students of our department have the opportunity to do optional internships at home and abroad. In our department, it is possible for both faculty members and students to participate in scientific congresses and meetings abroad and in the country. Graduates of our department can work in many different institutions, both in the private sector and in the public sector. Ministries, kindergartens, hospitals, non-governmental organizations and research centers are some of these institutions. In addition, our graduates can choose to pursue an academic career by completing postgraduate programs. We recommend students who will choose our department to take advantage of the opportunities of the department and the university, both socially and academically. While Anadolu University campus facilitates student life with its proximity to the city center, it offers its students a library of rich resources and artistic and cultural activities where they can have a pleasant time on campus. I wish success to the students who will take the exam, and I would like to state that I would be happy to see each of you at Eskişehir and Anadolu University.
