On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, I would like to welcome you to the Department of Psychology. Our department is home to about 230 major and 280 minor students. We also offer graduate programs in Counseling and Community Psychology that have transformed the mental health field in Egypt, producing outstanding practitioners.

Our undergraduate students are exposed to the latest theories, models, and concepts of psychology. They develop critical thinking and research skills that are valuable in a wide variety of workplaces. Our students gain a good understanding of human behavior and mental processes, learn conflict management skills, make data-driven decisions, work effectively in groups, and communicate clearly. Additionally, studying psychology helps them enhance their social skills, emotional intelligence, and knowledge of human development and mental health.

Our graduate students are offered professional training programs that expose them to empirically validated and culturally-sensitive interventions at both the individual and community levels. As they practice new skills in counseling and community settings, they are supervised by faculty members who are experts in their fields.

Our faculty produce and publish exceptional research on important topics, such as reproductive health, emotion regulation, racial and ethnic disparities in behavioral health, exposure to community and political violence, intergenerational transmission of attachment, visual perception, inclusion of children with disabilities into mainstream schools, and the psychology of the marginalized as well as the underprivileged. Additionally, our practitioner faculty have made great contributions to the mental health field of Egypt by preparing future therapists who offer high-quality, ethical, and culturally sensitive psychotherapy to the Egyptian population.  In terms of community engagement, our faculty collaborate with local and international NGOs to provide effective prevention and intervention programs that are badly needed by the community. 

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what we have to offer. Discover our courses, see what our faculty are working on, and explore our research center, the HARP, along with our Psychological Counseling and Training Center. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please contact us at [email protected]
