The program has duration of three (3) years for full-time students The program is completed with the acquisition of 202 ECTS credits, along with a supervised internship and the presentation of a thesis.

During the courses, the necessary supervisory and laboratory materials are used (video projectors and PCs in state-of-the-art and fully equipped laboratories). All students have access to the online platform INTRANET where all teaching material, grades and announcements for all courses are posted.

It is important to emphasize that being present in class is very important for an in-depth understanding of the various subjects. However, in cases where a student is unable to attend any or all of the courses, City Unity College E-learning platform provides him/her with the ability to download and study from home all lectures and to be informed of all the necessary bibliography and the papers / tests to be delivered by the end of the semester.

Also, the student may hold 1-hour weekly meetings through Skype with all his / her teachers to express his / her questions and to be informed about all developments. The Department's supervisor must be aware from the start of the semester about organizing these meetings so that he/she can keep a close eye on the student’s progress.

Finally, the student can communicate by e-mail with all his / her professors and the head of the department to arrange meetings with them whenever he / she wishes.

• Lectures: It is the main teaching method to transfer knowledge from teacher to student. They provide the student with an in-depth understanding of a module, and a chance to ask questions and advance his studies. All professors/instructors prepare their lectures in the form of presentations, which are available -from the very next day of the presentation- on the E-learning platform of City Unity College to be downloaded by students. This option should not, by any means, replace active attendance of the courses, because only in the classroom the student has the opportunity of interactive learning.
• Case studies: It is the most successful model, especially in the field of psychology, enabling a student to understand and apply theory in practice as well to prepare him/her for cases in his/her professional career. For this reason, it is very important for each professor to be a psychologist so that he can prepare the student -even from the first year- for the line of work he has chosen to pursue.
• Tutorials / Personal sessions: They are used to help the student in academic as well as personal issues that relate to potential student questions and inquiries about his / her course progress and career path. In these sessions he/she is given the opportunity to express possible insecurities and/or any weaknesses in some courses and to seek the appropriate solutions together with his/her personal tutor. Tutorials / Personal sessions are a close, personal monitoring of the student to provide support and security at every step.
• Laboratories: It is the main teaching method for all courses requiring statistical analysis and statistical programs. These courses are taught at City Unity College’s computer labs, which are equipped with specialized statistical programs used in Psychology. Along with theory, the student learns about the use of these programs, which are necessary for research.
• Group Seminars and Participation in Conferences: It is very important for a Psychology student to participate in seminars and lectures so he/she can understand the importance of continuous learning and education on the various issues of psychology research. Participation starts from the very first year of studies with active involvement in the planning of seminars and lectures on Psychology and continues during the next two years of studies by actively participating through the creation of posters or small presentations. These actions provide students with experience and connections in their future workplace, and enrich their CV so that after graduation they have at least two or three participations in their resume.
• Assessment: The assessment of knowledge gained during the academic semester is done through formal written exams/tests, essays, reports and presentations. Writing essays, reports and presentations will give the opportunity to the student to not only present his / her own ideas and to understand in depth a subject but also will prepare him / her for future presentations and for the thesis, as well for conferences in which he she may participate throughout his / her professional career.
