The Institute of Psychology was created in 1920 and is the birthplace of French psychology. It was the first institution to train psychologists at the university level. The Institute has 4,000 students studying psychology from the undergraduate to the post-graduate level. It is one of the only training and research centers in France to offer a broad range of courses in the other subdisciplines that lead to the many careers in psychology. In addition, the Institute of Psychology sets itself apart through its experimental, clinical and applied research on societal issues and in the fields of health and education.

The Department of Psychology at Tufts University conducts cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of mental processes and behavior. Our work addresses social, cognitive, and neural levels of analysis. We are innovative and interdisciplinary in our approach and emphasize understanding phenomena that have a direct impact on society. Scientists at all levels - faculty, postdoctoral trainees, and graduate and undergraduate students - engage in collaborative scholarship and critical thinking in the classroom and in the laboratory. This synthesis, between research and teaching, positions us to ask and answer fundamental questions while also enriching our students' understanding of psychology.
It has been possible to major in psychology at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at RWTH Aachen University since 1960.
