Features of Education and Clinical Psychology Major
This evening graduate school, where you can learn while at the same time holding down a job, makes it its main goal to nurture highly skilled professionals and provide recurrent education for working adults. In the master's program, students will be divided into the field of “education” and “clinical psychology”, and they will develop abilities for research and practice in line with education and clinical psychology in real-life scenarios. The doctoral program is made up of two parts: educational practice and clinical psychology.
In the field of education (master's program), it is possible to obtain a specialized teacher license. In the case of established teachers in particular, licenses for kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools that have already been acquired can be transferred to a specialized license.
In the Field of Clinical Psychology (First Semester), students will be qualified to sit the Certified Public Psychologist examination. The Center for Clinical Psychology has also been established as a research and practical training facility for this major subject. In addition, we provide internships and practical training in conjunction with hospitals and other institutions.
