TPÖÇG
In 1995, a group of psychology students came together and came up with an idea:
'What can we do, we can gather the students studying in the psychology department in Turkey and organize some events and organizations together, and more importantly, we can ensure that all psychology students are in contact?'
Everything starts after this idea… A study group is established, important goals are set, and a small number of psychology students start working on a completely voluntary basis.
An organic link has been established between TPÖÇG and the Turkish Psychologists Association, which continues its continuity with activities that are unmatched in almost any department in Turkey today. It works in collaboration with TPD but is independent.
To be a working group that has reached all psychology students in Turkey, TRNC, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia, optimizes the standards in psychology education on behalf of the student, and represents students on issues such as accreditation, education continuity and education quality.
To contribute to the training of each psychology student within the borders of Turkey, TRNC, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia as a psychologist who has completed both social and academic development at the highest level.
