Guidance and Psychological Counseling

Hi, I'm Yusuf Mert Duman. I am a student of Inonu University Guidance and Psychological Counseling Department. I am also actively involved in the PDR (Psychological Counseling and Guidance) Community of our university. Our department is located in Inonu University Faculty of Education. If you have high social skills, if you like to get to know yourself and the people around you, if you have made touching a person's life an interest, if your skills, interests are in this direction, this department is perfect for you. In our department, general culture courses, educational sciences courses and psychological counseling courses for the field are given. These courses are divided into theoretical and practical parts. These courses cover Psychological Counseling Skills, Psychological Counseling Principles and Methods, Psychological Counseling with the Group, Career Counseling, Family Counseling, Behavioral Disorders. There is an application unit for psychological counseling in our department. This unit is usually open to 3rd and 4th grade students. The practices carried out here are carried out in cooperation with the professors of our department. The areas where you can work after graduating from our department are institutions affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (MEB), special education centers, guidance and research centers, preschools, nurseries and ministries. The main reason I chose the department was that I think they have high social skills and I have aimed to change the world since I was a little girl. But to change the world, one has to change one’s environment in the first place. That's why I chose this department to touch the lives of the people around me, to support their development and to benefit them. Among the reasons I chose this university was that it has a large campus, has wide range of sporting activities, has a 3-storey library, has a large social, academic and intellectual activities, and has successful professors who have proven themselves in the field in our department. After graduating from this department, I plan to work in institutions that provide preschool education. Because I have stronger communication with children. My advice to candidates who would prefer our university is: Do not neglect your social development as well as your academic development. Participate in the activities of PDR communities because it supports you academically and affects your social development. Feel free to talk to the teachers of our department and make sure to benefit from their experience. I wish success to all the candidates who have already chosen our university. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. We're waiting for all of you.
