- To broaden students' research perspectives through interdisciplinary projects and equip them with cutting-edge insights into psychology research literature.
- To equip students with the basic and applied research skills for conducting empirical studies/projects as well as evaluating these studies/projects
- To equip students with the skills to link theory, constructs, measurement, method, data analysis and inferences in substantive areas to make recommendations and decisions that are scientifically defensible
- To train and mentor students to prepare them for psychology and psychology-related careers in academia and industry
