Course Overview

Psychology provides a framework for understanding and managing mental health, organizational success, and society’s wellbeing and happiness. At AUD we are committed to an education that enhances students’ critical thinking, their understanding of complex behaviors and relations, and their skills in promoting healthy workforces, corporate cultures, and communities.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in the Psychology program at AUD delivers a broad understanding of psychology and its related fields while exposing students to more specialist areas like social and personality psychology, clinical psychology, consumer and organizational psychology as well as the psychology of advertising. Thus, students will gain a well-rounded education in the foundations of psychology as well as more in-depth expertise in the areas of biological, industrial, and applied psychology. 

Suited to graduates interested in working with people and understanding the biological and social factors that shape human behavior and the workings of the human mind, the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology program will qualify graduates for postgraduate specialization, such as Masters programs in e.g. clinical, organizational or counselling psychology. The B.A. will also provide an advantage in a broad range of careers including business and law, company development and human resources, marketing, media, healthcare, and education.

Upon completion of the degree program, students will be able to:

  • Conduct ethical research appropriate to the fields of psychology;
  • Communicate effectively in written and spoken forms regarding psychological issues and projects;
  • Analyze and evaluate discussions regarding important psychological issues;
  • Define concepts that position psychology as a field of scientific inquiry;
  • Situate within a historical framework the theories that are the foundation of contemporary discussion of psychological issues;
  • Assess the strengths of applying various theoretical frameworks to contemporary psychological issues.
