Programme Overview
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. It is both a scientific discipline and a profession. As such, Psychology students at Central University are given a strong research background and understanding of the scientific basis of psychology; a knowledge base of human behaviour across the fields of psychology; taught how to apply psychology in one’s professional life especially with respect to fields that are associated with psychology. Psychology offers the individual the chance to explore unanswered questions about the brain, such as how it functions under stress, language acquisition, how it remembers facts or how mental illness can affect the way it works. Besides, it gives us an appreciation of why human beings behave the way they do. The goal of the Psychology programme is to prepare the individual as a well-rounded scholar with marketable, professional skills that will enable them to adapt to the changing social and developmental needs of the Ghanaian society and the world at large. The BSc Psychology programme at Central University is a four-year degree programme which aims to train the next generation of Psychologists to (1) appreciate and understand the diversities of human behaviour; (2) appreciate the interaction of our biology, our environment, and our experiences in determining and shaping our personalities and potentials.
