Faculty of Psychology
Psychology is a relatively new science that is in constant evolution. There are many therapies and approaches within psychology that have not been properly addressed by the traditional university and that can be studied through BIU online university courses. The requirements for the psychotherapy professional practice vary depending on the country. The practice of psychology is generally monitored by professional associations supervised in some extent by the government. Membership into these associations is, in certain cases, voluntary or even unnecessary depending on the psychotherapeutic approach used. PNL, Gestalt, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Counseling do not often require any official accreditation. BIU advice to any professional psychotherapist is to verify if his or her counseling approach requires any regulation. A BIU online university degree constitutes a good way to provide a solid support to your career as a professional psychotherapist.
Doctorate (Doctor Ph.D. Degree)
The online Doctorate program offers students the highest level of specialization in any discipline. Students acquire highly specialized knowledge and full command of specific skills that they will develop, argue and defend in their culminating work: the Doctoral thesis. The main requirement of the online doctorate consists in submitting and discussing a 70 page thesis paper for review and evaluation by a BIU academic committee. In some cases, previously published material can be counted towards the Ph.D. degree in substitution of a the doctoral research work. Several 20 to 35 pages reports based on textbooks may also be required to complete the required online doctorate credits. Duration depends on the amount of research and work that students will devote to the completion of their doctoral thesis. The Ph.D. thesis must be defended in front of a minimum of three members of the BIU Academic Network. The BIU office will set up the thesis discussion schedule with both the student and the BIU academic committee. Occasionally and upon request this discussion may be established through the Internet or phone and on one to one basis with each of the members of the BIU academic committee.
