5 6 MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Education has two primary aims: to offer students an excellent standard of education and teaching and to conduct exceptional research. Our research programmes reflect the expertise, creativity and innovation of the academic staff. Faculty members set their own research agenda and cooperate with their colleagues internationally. Their research focuses on a variety of fields, and concerns both the theoretical and the applied levels. Our researchers are mindful of conducting research, which will have an impact on the local society, and in the period under scrutiny our Faculty members have been awarded many research grants. The Faculty of Social Sciences and Education comprises four Departments: Department of Education, Department of Law, Department of Psychology, Department of Social and Political Sciences. In the Education Department, research interests of the academic staff cover a broad spectrum of disciplines, including topics related to history, philosophy and sociology of education, curriculum studies and the didactics of specific domains. The Department of Law is a relatively recent addition to the University. Its academic faculty has an established research record in topics like general principles of private law, history and theory of private law, contract law, European private law, comparative private and public law, domestic and European public and constitutional law and international law. Research in the Department of Psychology focuses on recent advances in the discipline’s different areas. The research activities of the department cover a wide range of topics in the areas of educational, cognitive, social and developmental psychology. Research in the Department of Social and Political Sciences covers a wide range of topics related to Cypriot society from an international perspective. The research activities of the department target the Cyprus problem, Cypriot economic culture, the European Union and European co-operation and increasing prospects of placement of young people in the labour market. Faculty research is disseminated through many activities, including publications of books and articles in high quality, peer-review international journals, the organization of and participation in international conferences and the publication of conference proceedings. This publication highlights some samples of the innovative basic and applied research that was carried out in this Faculty during the period of 2011-2014.

10 Department of Education

The mission of the Department of Education is twofold: the promotion of research and theory in the field of pedagogical sciences; the pre-service and in-service training of teachers. With regard to the first part of its mission, the Department has developed two undergraduate programmes leading to degrees in pre-primary and primary education. It has also developed 10 graduate programmes, which are currently running, leading to Master and Ph.D. degrees. Furthermore, the Department of Education promotes the Commitment to Democracy and Gender Equality through the UNESCO Chair in Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, and its collaboration with the Center of Gender Studies at the University of Cyprus. To fulfill its citizenship and Gender Equality mission, the Department has established and coordinates the inter- departmental and inter-disciplinary postgraduate Gender Studies programme. Owing to the great number of students enrolled in the Department's programmes of study, all faculty members have taken on increased teaching and management responsibilities. Nevertheless, this has hindered neither their research and publication activities, whether individually or in cooperation with colleagues from Cyprus and foreign universities, nor their participation in many educational conferences abroad and the organization of conferences in Cyprus. More specifically, during the period under review, faculty members in our Department collaborated with colleagues at universities in Greece, the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, Finland, Switzerland, U.S.A., Canada and other countries. They have published books, chapters in collective volumes and research papers in top journals, as well as in conference proceedings. At the same time, they were actively engaged in the educational, cultural, political and social life of the island. Given the multi-disciplinary character of the Department, the research interests of the faculty members cover a wide spectrum, and include areas such as the history, philosophy, sociology of education, educational administration, inclusive education, multiple fields in curriculum studies and the didactics of special areas, physics, maths, language, sports pedagogy, environmental studies, and religion education. During the last three years, members in our Department have produced over 2000 publications and 27 Ph.D. degrees have been awarded to students who successfully completed their graduate programmes.

76 Department of Law

The mission of the Department is not only to provide its students with high quality education, but to undertake research that will benefit the law fraternity in Cyprus and the broader European area. The Department is at the forefront of the research into Cyprus Law and its development in the European context. The Law Studies programme oﬀered by the Department aims at encouraging critical legal thought, that combines theory and specialist knowledge with an applied approach. Research is another major aim of the Department and already the Department is very well represented in international, European and local research projects, especially in the fields of Criminal Sciences, International Law, European Law, Private Law and Private International Law. The Department’s contribution to Cypriot society is also noteworthy and it is expected to add significantly to the University’s social contribution. The Department of Law has a significant contribution to make to the harmony and prosperity of the local community. Among the Department’s immediate goals are: to increase the size of its academic staﬀ, to admit more students, to introduce post-graduate programmes, and to become autonomous as soon as possible.

94 Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology was established in 2004 and, within a decade, has succeeded in establishing an international research profile in both traditional areas, such as cognitive, social, developmental, educational, and clinical psychology, as well as in cutting-edge interdisciplinary areas, such as cognitive science and applied neuroscience. Our vision is to contribute to the growth of scientific and scholarly research in the field of Psychology and our mission is to provide a solid academic and research education to our students. Our faculty come from varied academic and research traditions, representing the diversity within the field of Psychology. Faculty in the Department of Psychology collaborate with scholars at research centers abroad and run numerous research projects in many diﬀerent areas including: Childhood Disorders (Neurocognitive/psychiatric) • Adulthood Disorders (Neurobehavioral/ psychiatric) • Aging • Traumatic-Brain Injuries • Perception, Attention, Memory • Virtual Reality • Intergroup Conflict Resolution • Psychosocial Development • Psychophysiology of Emotion • Emotion and Psychopathology • Antisocial Behavior • Developmental Psychopathology • Health Psychology • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy • Philosophy of Science • Parenting and Family Issues • School Aggression • Learning Theories • Intelligence • Psychometrics The Department has been extremely successful in attracting external funding: from the Research Promotion Foundation (Cyprus), the European Commission – FP6 and FP7, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the European Research Foundation, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (National Institutes of Health – USA), the International Reading Association, and more recently, Horizon 2020. In addition, several members of our faculty serve on the editorial board of prestigious journals, while others serve as board members of scientific societies. Through our international contacts and collaborations, we have been able to organize a number of research symposia, and have hosted prominent guest lecturers to Cyprus to benefit both our students and the scientific community in Cyprus. The Department of Psychology is also committed to providing high-quality research-grounded education at both the undergraduate and graduate level, oﬀering one undergraduate, two applied M.A. programmes (School Psychology, School Counselling and Guidance), and two theoretical graduate programmes (Cognitive and Educational Psychology, Social Developmental Psychology), as well as two Ph.D. programmes (Psychology and Clinical Psychology). The doctoral degrees aim for and focus on new knowledge in the field of psychology; therefore they are research intensive, culminating in the doctoral dissertation. In addition to the doctoral dissertation, the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology prepares students for clinical practice in accordance with European standards and the Cyprus law for professional psychologists. Department facilities include the Center for Applied Neuroscience, the Neurocognitive Research Lab, the Experimental Psychology Laboratory, the Social and Developmental Psychology Lab, the Clinical Psychology and Psychophysiology Lab, the Developmental Psychopathology Lab, and the Clinical Psychology and Behavioural Medicine Lab. These vibrant labs provide additional research opportunities for our students through students' participation in diverse research programs.
