One of the relatively young sciences, Psychology was formed as a fully developed study of human thought and behavior about a century ago, with Sigmund Freud being one of the first scientists to reveal the developing nature of the inner world of man and establish the field of knowledge.

Today, psychologists work at different levels, doing research on mental functioning, social behavior and cognitive processes, as well as trying to understand the neurobiological nature of the mind. Professionals working on the subject, helping adjacent fields of science, such as Social Sciences, Philosophy, Humanities and Natural Sciences, use their methods to conduct research on a modern level. They include neuropsychological and computational methods, as well as comparative methods. Along with Theoretical Psychology, it offers wide opportunities for practical implications that play a huge role in education, therapy, business, natural science research and even aesthetics!

Despite the magnitude of the psychological field, you should not be surprised. Psychology can provide a great career for anyone who is curious enough to look into the mind! Find out more about the various master's programs and master's degrees in Psychology in just one click!
