The Department of Applied Psychology has programmes designed to equip students with the ability to describe, explain, predict, modify and promote human behaviour and mental processes. To this effect, students are groomed with the requisite theory and practice to prepare them to offer the best of themselves for their own benefit and that of others in all facets of daily life. This is pertinent in view of the fact that contemporary life is marred with adverse psychological effects of numerous complexities such as disease, drought, floods, human abuses and accidents in diverse community settings.

They are provided with opportunities : To participate in and to facilitate community outreach activities; To be affiliated to and to be in partnerships with Psychology professional Bodies; To work in collaboration with Psychology-related Organs; To demonstrate the sanctity of advancing psychological wellness of people in adverse circumstances.
