Master of Child Psychology
The Master’s degree in Child Psychology is the historical, first and essentially, the only Master’s degree in the specific subject in our country. Since its inception, we have been pioneering educational and research initiatives in areas such as bullying, cyberbullying, self-image formation, identity disorders and child abuse.
One of the greatest advantages of the project is that it delves into the study of the processes and mechanisms of development that are activated, throughout the biological and mental development of the embryo into an adult and is not limited to a single dimension of life (e.g. school).
According to an article in the newspaper “Ta Nea”, this Master’s degree is the first in Greece in the field of Psychology to be recognized by the Council for the Recognition of Professional Qualifications (SAEP) (now ATEEN).
Among other things it covers:
