Bachelor in Psychology

Tuition fees are 7,000 USD per year.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, covering areas such as cognitive, developmental, social, clinical, and biological psychology. Coursework typically includes research methods and statistics, personality theory, abnormal psychology, learning and memory, and the biological bases of behavior, along with practical training in observation, assessment, and experimental design. Students learn to apply psychological theory to real-world settings, evaluate research findings critically, and understand how individual and social factors shape human behavior across the lifespan. Many programs incorporate supervised practicum or laboratory work to build applied skills. Graduates commonly pursue further study toward licensure as clinical or counseling psychologists, or work in fields such as human resources, education, market research, social services, and organizational consulting, where an understanding of human behavior supports decision-making and program design. This 4-year bachelor's program is taught in English at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University in İstanbul, Turkey, combining core coursework in the field with electives, seminars, and, in many cases, an internship or capstone project that lets students apply classroom learning to a practical setting. Class sizes and specific elective offerings vary by faculty, but the overall structure follows the standard four-year undergraduate model common to Turkish higher education, with lectures, labs or workshops where relevant, and assessment through coursework and examinations. The program sits within the university's wider academic and professional resources, including access to libraries, career guidance, and student organizations connected to the discipline.
