Training, Research and Service Delivery Projects

According to its mission the Department of Psychology places a strong emphasis in its training on the psychosocial realities of the region and country. Consequently, the Department strives for an optimal integration of teaching, research and provision of services. Research projects, focusing increasingly on the psychosocial challenges facing South Africa, also provide opportunities for training and service delivery, while community projects are used for research and training of students.
