The research lines of the Graduate Program in Psychology, as well as the projects that derive from them, involve undergraduate and graduate students, who work collaboratively in an academic interaction perspective in which everyone wins.

With a concentration area in Psychology, the Master's Program is structured in two lines of research:

Line 1 - Diagnosis and Clinical Interventions in Psychosocial Contexts

This line proposes to study, research, understand and intervene in several contemporary themes, promoting improvements for the community/society. Among these themes are crisis situations inherent to the human condition; chronic diseases such as HIV, diabetes, and COPD; situations of violence, against women, and against the elderly; processes of inclusion. Special education, from the perspective of inclusion, has brought technical, scientific and practical challenges to education and health professionals who interface with educational contexts.
