Welcome to the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University, a prestigious academic department in the field of psychological research and education. We offer comprehensive programs and research opportunities at all levels, from undergraduate to graduate studies, covering a broad spectrum of psychology. Our faculty consists of internationally renowned experts whose research is frequently published in top academic journals and featured in mainstream media. Northwestern's Psychology Department dates back to 1909, when it quietly separated from the Philosophy Department and became its own entity. The Department initially included only two regular faculty members, Walter Dill Scott and Robert Gault, and offered eight courses. Since 1909, the Psychology Department has grown considerably; we now have 41 faculty members and offer more than 80 undergraduate and graduate courses.
Linköping University's psychology researchers focus on diverse areas, including online therapy, early memory in children, group work dynamics, decision-making, and learning processes. The department contributes valuable knowledge to health and well-being through research in social, clinical, developmental, cognitive, neuropsychology, and educational psychology.
The Department of Education and Psychology at Freie Universität Berlin includes the discipline of psychology as well as those of education and elementary education.
Our department has three graduate programs that lead to a PhD—clinical, social-personality, and developmental psychology. We also have an undergraduate psychology major and several psychology minors.
