Psychology

Hello, I'm Ahmet Fatih Sarıkaya. I am a 3rd year student of Psychology Program at the University of Health Sciences. The aim of this program is to understand and explore human beings with their cognitive, social and physical aspects on the basis of scientific background. Our department is located in Istanbul Selimiye Complex, Faculty of Life Sciences. Psychology program offers courses such as Neuropsychology, Cultural Psychology, Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Lifelong Development, and Physiology. Our school has many internship opportunities because it is state-supported and many hospitals in Turkey are affiliated with it. Internship takes place in the summer term of the 3rd year. It is possible to work as a psychologist in clinics by completing a master's degree in clinical psychology after students obtain their bachelor degrees. It is also possible to work in hospitals. Apart from this, it is possible to work by specializing in neuropsychology, social psychology and cultural psychology, which are subfields of psychology. In addition, a career in academia is, of course, among the opportunities. I chose the Department of Psychology to support my desire to understand and explore human beings on a scientific basis. I chose the University of Health Sciences in order to develop my career in the field of health in Istanbul. After graduation, I want to conduct research and studies on neuropsychology as my field of interest. I advise the candidates who are considering our university and this field to come here willingly. Developing yourself with events, seminars and conferences for 4 years should be your most important focus. Our university is very rich in terms of campus opportunities. I recommend you to take advantage of these opportunities when you come to our university. I wish you all a successful educational life. We welcome you to our university.
