Psychology here is taught as a science: research methods, statistics, and the major fields — developmental, social, cognitive, abnormal — studied through evidence. A region that has lived through war and displacement needs people who understand trauma, resilience and human behaviour deeply.
We are plain about the limits: a bachelor's degree in psychology does not license anyone to practise as a therapist, here or anywhere. It prepares graduates for further study, for research assistance, for community and humanitarian work, and for every role in which understanding people is the work.
