About

The primary aim of the postgraduate education in Psychology at Mid Sweden University is to help students becoming independent and skilled researchers.

Overview

Features

Research at the Department of Psychology at Mid Sweden University is divided into four main areas: clinical psychology, emotion & cognition, developmental psychology, and organisational & social psychology.

At the Department we conduct basic research as well as applied research and interventions. Our research aims to fill knowledge gaps but also to develop methods to improve health and well-being.

An important goal is to create research to prevent, alleviate, and cure human suffering and disease. In order to achieve this, we conduct basic studies, but also studies involving psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders, sensory and cognitive dysfunctions, etiological mechanisms and developmental processes, as well as prevention and treatment.

Programme Structure

Research:

  • The object of study in psychology is human emotion, cognition and behavior.
  • At the Department of Psychology, research includes a vast array of interests ranging from basic research on attention, perception, emotion, language and development, to more applied research on prevention or treatment of ill health (somatic and/or psychological).
