Psychology

Established on July 17, 2016, the International Undergraduate Program (IUP) in the Faculty of Psychology is designed to provide students with a broader range of understandings of psychology. We involve our students in the international academic forum through our teaching methods, one of them being the International Academic Exposure (IAE). With IAE, students are expected to build connections with global academic communities and learn their methods by participating in exchange programs, short courses, research apprenticeships, and international conferences.

As part of the IAE preparation, several psychological centers operate within this faculty, including the Center for Indigenous and Cultural Psychology (CICP), Lembaga Pengembangan Kualitas Manusia (LPKM), Mind, Brain & Behavior Laboratory (MBB Lab), etc. Students can take part in these centers to hone their skills. Located in the heart of Yogyakarta, a vibrant city rich in culture, students can immerse themselves within its diversity and even see it as a psychological phenomenon.
