Digital Psychology

Introduction

In an era where humanity and technology are inextricably linked, a nuanced understanding of their interaction is paramount. This knowledge is critical not only for evaluating the impact of technology on human well-being but also for harnessing insights into human behavior to design and utilize technologies that foster greater individual and societal flourishing.

The Digital Psychology program at BINUS University is a unique double-degree collaboration that synergizes the strengths of two distinct disciplines to meet this critical need: Psychology and Computer Science. The Psychology program offers a robust foundation in the scientific knowledge of human behavior, extending traditional psychological principles to analyze the human-computer interface and leverage technology to improve human performance. Complemented by the Computer Science program’s expertise in the processes, techniques, and tools for developing complex digital systems. By emphasizing specialties such as intelligent systems and software engineering, the program prepares students to create the technologies that are shaping our world.

By blending these two fields, the Digital Psychology program equips graduates with a dual skillset: the ability to understand the psychological intricacies of human interaction with technology, and the technical proficiency to design innovative, effective, and ethically sound digital solutions for well-being.
