CUHK's MA in Psychology program is designed to provide a solid foundation in psychology for students who did not major in psychology. It offers a flexible and comprehensive curriculum to support future professional and research pursuits. Promoting a distinctive Chinese voice is a major theme of the Department's long-term strategy. We have been instrumental in the development of several Asian journals. We have also edited and authored internationally respected texts on Chinese psychology and cultural influences in psychological processes. We are drawing on our experiences and resources to help develop psychological sciences in China. In short, our Department is a key player in the expansion of psychology beyond its Western origins.
