Faculty at a glance

Faculty of Education and Psychology is one of the oldest faculties of Tabriz University. This faculty established in 1950, which at its inception was known as Teacher Training College and to cope with the education needs of the region, only had accepted candidates of literature teaching. In 1968, house economics and library science was added to the total fields of this faculty. Two years later, in 1970, master’s program of library science was added to the Department of Library Science with seven students admitted out of thirty four candidates. In the same year, based on the approval of the Supreme Council of Tabriz University, the name of the faculty changed to the Faculty of Education.

In 1975, Department of Psychology was detached from the Faculty of Literature and Human Science and joined to the faculty of education. Since 1983, the name changed to Clinical Psychology. Also, since 1987 the Faculty of physical education and sport sciences was added to this faculty. Finally, since 1991, the name of the faculty changed to what is now called the Faculty of Education and Psychology.

 Now, the faculty consists of four departments of Psychology, Education, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Knowledge and Information Science. Departments of Psychology, Education, and Cognitive Neuroscience, admits students to Ph.D., and Knowledge and Information Science to MA.

The students of the faculty benefit a wide range of facilities including: instructional technology laboratory, library science laboratory, and psychology laboratory. In a beautiful surrounding green area toward the southern part of the faculty, a fairly perfect and modern Nursery School is located, which is active under the supervision of the faculty. At the moment, six private and qualified non-profit making schools of the city are affiliated to the faculty for research and experimental purposes.
