Clinical Psychology Course Clinical Psychology Course offers a program designed to train individuals with advanced specialized knowledge and skills to apply scientific perspectives to practical clinical psychology activities in fields such as health care, welfare, education, justice and criminology, industry and labor, and private psychological counseling. While we have agreements with a wide variety of off-campus facilities to provide clinical training, the most important clinical placement is at Teikyo University Mental Health Center. Teikyo University Mental Health Center is a counseling facility for the local community, providing psychological support services. 1st year master's students work as receptionists, and 2nd year engage in clinical training involving actual case studies. This course also supports the nationally certified curriculum for certified psychologists, clinical psychologists (designated as Type 1 training courses by the Japan Certification Association), and clinical developmental psychologists.
Psychological Science Course Psychological Science Course focuses on cognitive psychology, animal psychology, physiological psychology, quantitative psychology, and social psychology as its core research fields, and aims to scientifically elucidate the mechanisms of the human mind. Students collect data that objectively capture various aspects of the mind, analyze the data using psychological statistics, and interpret the results using cutting-edge knowledge in psychological science and logical thinking to draw conclusions. We cultivate individuals with the ability to carry out creative and excellent research, and who can apply cutting-edge specialized knowledge and techniques in psychological science to society.
