Welcome to the website of the Faculty of Psychology at Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don, Russia). We hope you can find all the information you are looking for whether you are a prospective student, an academic researcher, an old friend, or merely a browser. As Dean of the Faculty, I'd like to offer a special welcome to those of you who are considering studying as an undergraduate or graduate student with us. We have put together this web site in the hope of answering all the basic questions you may have, but if questions remain do not hesitate to contact us directly for further information.

This website has incorporated as much useful information as possible about our undergraduate and postgraduate courses, our staff and their research interests and career options for psychology graduates.

Our staff of nationally and internationally known academics is dedicated to maintaining and developing our reputation for teaching and research. Our job is our life and we recognize the importance and influence of university education. Over recent years, we have enjoyed considerable success on both in teaching and research, and we are determined to maintain that momentum in the future. As the dean of the Department, I am fortunate to work in an environment that is friendly, enthusiastic and cooperative, and we all look forward to future challenges with confidence.

Psychology is a fascinatingly diverse subject, and our undergraduate degree course attempts to reflect the range of the field. We offer a general course of psychology, as well as opportunities to study electives in areas of particular staff and student interest. Staff research interests are diverse and range across social, developmental, pedagogical, educational, personality psychology and psychophysiology. Our academic interests are described in more detail on the faculty pages, and we welcome enquiries from prospective postgraduates who would like to work with us on these research topics.
