The M.A. program in clinical psychology began in April 2002 with the dire need for dealing with urgent problems related to youth and adolescence. Our training program features various academic and professional activities. Based on the global standard, we often invite professional scholars and clinicians from overseas for workshops and conferences; students are encouraged to actively participate in such opportunities.
Students are also to develop skills in research and clinical practice in order to develop a deeper understanding of intra-psychic psychodynamics, and sharpen their skills in dealing with groups, families, schools, and other social institutions. The instruction here at ICU has been based on a good faculty-student ratio with the help of several part-time lecturers, with many resources helping to achieve students' career goals.

Major fields of research include clinical psychology practice, mental health, and psychoeducation focusing on personal growth and development. Lectures, seminars, practicum, and research guidance are offered in order to train students for clinical practice in the fields of education, medicine, human resources, judicial systems, welfare organizations, and other educational / clinical settings.
