Programme Overview:
With the accelerated development of economic globalization, China's psychological market has also experienced a leap growth. How to stand out from the crowd of psychology professionals? How to break through your own professional bottleneck and achieve new academic achievements? These become the imminent problems that we have to face and think carefully. It is our goal to connect with the international psychology academia, get to know more world-class masters in psychology and widen our international perspective. Chinese Psychology professionals must be proficient in frontier international academic research and the ability to develop the latest technology in order to take a place in the international competition.
