MA Psychology

The Psychology major at the Graduate School of Human Relations is based primarily around experimental psychology in accordance with the traditions outlined above. Graduate students are expected to learn by performing experiments themselves in addition to attending lectures and seminars. Regarding experiments, students are able to choose between conducting thesis research based on their own ideas, or participating in the research headed by their supervisors. The former option builds students' creativity and problem-identification skills, while the latter option helps students acquire techniques and learn how to run research operations themselves in the future. In other words, we provide an education based around not only the acquisition of knowledge through lectures and seminars, but also the acquisition of techniques and methods through research supervision.
