All programs are mostly taught in Mandarin. We do have some graudate courses that are taught in English.

We not only provide solid foundational courses but also offer numerous applied courses to meet the diverse needs of students in various fields of psychology, such as industrial and organizational psychology, counseling, cognitive psychology, cultural expression, applied psychology, and more.

The courses are distinctive, providing students with comprehensive professional development education and ample learning resources.

The department is guided by two core principles: "self-directed learning" and "social participation." It encourages students to engage in self-directed learning, exploration, and to find ways to apply their knowledge back to society, making a meaningful contribution to the community.

Application is open throughout the year but do look out for the deadline for each recruitment session. Last but not least, the university has a minimal requirement for Mandarin ability and some of our courses are taught in English.
