Why do people think and act as they do? The discipline of psychology seeks to answer this question, aiming for better understanding and application of this knowledge.
Inquiries in psychology include how we are influenced by others, why we become the persons that we are, how our brains work, our relationship with the environment, and why people sometimes behave in seemingly unusual or even bizarre ways. Students in Psychology learn various empirical tools to investigate the science of human mind and behaviour.

I’m intrigued by the use of psychology in facilitating behavioral changes in courses like “Goals and Motivation” and “The Pursuit of Happiness”. It developed my interest in evidence-based interventions to promote positive changes in public health.

MERYL YU (CLASS OF 2022)
Psychology helps me appreciate thought processes that drive human experiences, develop more acuity in interactions, and to be conscious of the flaws and negativities in my thought process. It moulds me into a self-aware and compassionate individual.

I work with marginalized groups to develop interventions to address underperformance in racial minorities, understand group dynamics in organizations and craft trauma-informed practices. Psychology provides insights to contribute to society.
