The Admission Procedure
Most of the admission process to Psychology in English is done online so you can apply from anywhere in the world. First you need to set up an account in the IRK (the Internet Recruitment of Candidates), and attach a scan of your secondary school diploma and language certificate. Remember, if you’re taking IELTS, the minimum score needs to be at least 6.5. First we have a look at your score and if it’s high enough we’ll invite you to the oral entrance exam, which is based on a book ‘The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion’ by Jonathan Haidt.
We’re waiting for your applications – good luck!
