Introduction
Among the social sciences, psychology is relatively young with a history of about one hundred and thirty years as an independent science and it has undergone many changes and developments in this relatively short period. Today, psychology has reached a level of stability and strength, and by considering the natural needs of man and understanding the spirit of the time, is the pioneer of the study of human complexities.
Psychology is the applied science of studying behavior and mental processes based on scientific findings and research among individuals. This science encompasses various aspects of human existence and experience, from brain function to behavior, from child development to the condition of the elderly. Psychology also studies concepts such as intelligence, behavior, emotions, and internal, social and personality relationships.
This program introduces students to different disciplines in psychology such as developmental psychology, psychology of exceptional children, industrial and organizational psychology, psychopathology, physiological psychology, and so on.
