Bachelor in Psychology

Tuition fees for Bachelor in Psychology are 3,650 USD per year.

Psychology examines human thought, emotion, and behavior, drawing on research methods and theory to understand how people perceive the world, develop over their lifespan, and interact with others. Core coursework generally includes general psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, personality theory, research methods, and statistics, alongside electives that may cover clinical, organizational, or educational applications of the field. Students learn to design and evaluate studies, interpret data, and apply psychological theory to real-world problems, often through case studies, laboratory exercises, and supervised practice. The discipline provides a foundation for further specialization, and graduates pursue paths in clinical or counseling psychology through postgraduate study, human resources, education, market research, or social services, among other areas. Understanding assessment tools, ethical standards in working with human subjects, and communication skills for working with individuals and groups are also emphasized throughout the curriculum. This program is delivered in English over 4 years at Istanbul Galata University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. The four-year format allows students to build a broad base in psychological theory before narrowing toward electives aligned with their interests, whether that leans toward clinical practice, research, or applied organizational settings. Being situated in İstanbul gives students access to a large and diverse population, which can support fieldwork, internships, and applied projects connected to community and mental health services across the city and the wider region.
