Keeping up with the needs of modern society
Study pressure, peer pressure, job competition, or problems such as stress, depression, anxiety disorders, overthinking... are no longer strange concepts and are present in daily life. In that context, taking care of mental health becomes one of the key factors determining the quality of life of each individual.
For SIU students, each course is an exciting field trip.
Gen Z - the young generation growing up in the digital age, sensitive to psychological issues, has developed a special interest in mental health. Many young people come to psychology because they want to understand themselves, empathize with others and contribute to building a healthy, civilized community.
In addition, psychology offers many flexible career options: from school counseling, special child care, psychotherapy at health centers, to consumer behavior research in marketing, human resource management or creating psychological andeducational content on digital platforms...
The diversity of career opportunities, combined with a greater awareness of mental health, is why more and more candidates are turning to this field of study as a solid choice for the future.
"Emotional learning" trips
The psychology major at SIU is designed to help students have the capacity to work with all those in need of mental health care.
One of the outstanding advantages of SIU's psychology major is the approach to learning based on real-life experiences. Students visit counseling centers, psychotherapy centers, school counseling rooms, psychiatric hospitals, businesses with human resource psychology departments... These trips create lessons through emotions, listening, and experience. From there, students better understand how psychological knowledge is applied in life, practice observation, listening, and situation handling skills. Through each visit, students also gradually form a clear career mindset and appropriate professional orientation.
In parallel, seminars and talk shows with the participation of domestic and foreign psychological experts help students update new knowledge and clearly visualize their future career path.
At SIU, the school focuses on and develops the "Early Career Guidance" program, creating conditions for students to determine their career potential right from their first year. In particular, the psychology major at SIU also offers opportunities for internships and practice right at the school psychology counseling system of Asian International School, a member of the Group of Asian International Education (GAIE). With 10 modern facilities from elementary to high school located throughout the central districts of Ho Chi Minh City of Asian School, students can not only gain experience from the real working environment but also open up many solid career opportunities after graduation.
Thanks to its continuous efforts in training, SIU has become one of the prestigious training places for students passionate about psychology, while meeting the increasing needs of society in caring for and improving the quality of spiritual life of Vietnamese people.
