Towards the future of Psychology x ○○! Certified Psychologists' Association Public Symposium to be held on August 1st (Sat)

"If you study Psychology, won't you be able to read people's minds?" I sometimes get asked that question.

In fact, Psychology is connected to a wide range of things, including VR, AI, business, scents, and travel. This summer, Otemae University will host a public symposium to dispel common misconceptions about Psychology and introduce true Psychology.

No prior specialized knowledge is required. Anyone is welcome, whether you live in the Kinki region, are interested in learning at Otemae University, are a high school student on summer break, a career guidance counselor, or are aiming to become a certified psychologist. Why not take a peek into a new world of learning? We'll condense the fascinating aspects of how studying Psychology can be useful in various jobs and in society. It's sure to broaden your understanding of Psychology.

<Special benefits for in-person participants only>
After the symposium, the first 25 attendees will have the opportunity to experience VR, phantom sense, and scent evaluation. Friends and family are welcome to join you. Please feel free to come to the Nishinomiya Shukugawa Campus!
