Psychology

Introduction

As long as humans exist, the discipline of psychology can be applied in broad ranging aspects of life. Equipped with a good understanding of basic theories of psychology, individuals may be expected to work in a variety of milieus. Traditional wise, psychology focuses ‘only’ on the study of normal and abnormal human functioning as well as provides treatment to patients with mental and behavioral problems. Without leaving its traditional root, psychology nowadays has also touched on more practical areas, including the mental function of healthy individuals such as athletes, space explorers, stage performers, and employees, even the effect on the interaction between human and computer. Department of Psychology offers an undergraduate (Sarjana) degree program. According to the existing National Regulation, the undergraduate psychology curriculum focuses on the basic scientific knowledge of human behavior and mental process alongside with the basic skill to design and conduct psychological intervention. Par excellence, at BINUS UNIVERSITY, students of Psychology will be strengthened by the understandings of urban communities’ life and the use of technology to improve human performance, as the exclusive advantages to contribute in their working community. Understanding patterns of human behavior will help us to be able to design changes to improve human performance itself and the quality of people’s lives.
