Momentum for development of Psychology at the Women University Swabi can be traced to the establishment of the Department of Psychology in year 2013. In the discipline of Psychology, faculty members are involved in the acquisition, representation, modeling, integration, interpretation, and transformation of psychological data & methodologies. The department aims to produce knowledgeable, self aware, thoughtful, responsible and well adjusted individuals who are responsive to the needs of rapidly changing social world. To achieve these objectives, the Department of Psychology endeavors to enhance the understanding of students about social, environmental and cultural factors relevant to mental health and also to enable them apply this knowledge in their own lives and in the society at large for better adjustment and learning. The Department of Psychology was set up to develop a comprehensive training program for professional Psychologists in the country and expand the role of Psychology to deal with a wide range of problems of the individual as well as the community at large. Department endeavors to raise the standard of training of Psychologists in different fields of the subject on national and international levels, enhance the standing of Psychology as an independent professional discipline, to meet the growing needs and changing demands of the society, and direct research towards developing an empirical knowledge base of indigenous Psychology in Pakistan.
The Department is committed to the preparation of highly qualified professionals who will seek to promote maximum growth and development of individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) with whom they work. This is accomplished through a carefully planned curricula which includes the following: interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches; theory linked to practice; a practitioner-scientist approach; self awareness and self-exploration activities; opportunities to learn and demonstrate respect for others; and socialization into the role of the profession. We value respect for the social foundations and cultural diversity of others and promote opportunities for students to learn how others construct their world.
