5th Forum of Psychology
5th Forum of Psychology
27
Nov
The Department of Psychology of FHS will hold the 5th Forum of Psychology on November 27 with the aim of empowering and inspiring students in the field of Psychology.
The Forum of Psychology* is an annual event organised by the Department of Psychology of the Faculty of Health Sciences. This year, it will take place on Thursday, 27 November, in Kent Wong Gallery of the University of Saint Joseph’s Ilha Verde Campus.
The main purpose of the event is to empower and inspire Psychology students, providing a space where the second year of the Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MCP) and the Master of Organisational Psychology (MOP) can present and share their research projects. Students will have the opportunity to practice communication skills that will come in handy for their oral defences, while inspiring Bachelor of Psychology students, potential Master students, and increasing awareness of what it takes to conduct a Master-level research project.
The event will kick-off with presentations selected from the highest grading dissertations in MCP and MOP of the 2024/2025 Academic Year. After a Q&A session, there will be a networking opportunity facilitated with refreshments whilst participants are free to learn more about the research projects of the year 2 MCP and MOP students through the scientific posters on display.
The Forum of Psychology is mainly organised for the Department of Psychology community (students, alumni, professors, and partners) but it is also open to the remaining members of the Faculty of Health Sciences, the University of Saint Joseph and the general public that are interested in the field of Psychology.
We hope you can join us!
*The event began in 2016 as the Forum of Counselling and Psychotherapy (FCP), solely with students of the MCP. With the creation of the MOP in 2018, the event was expanded to include MOP students in 2020, having been rebranded, last year, as Forum of Psychology.
