These classes included lectures, seminars, and practical work. During the lectures, students were introduced to the basic concepts, theories, and approaches to psychology. Seminars facilitated deeper understanding of the material through discussion, analysis of scientific sources, and solving practical problems.           

Particular attention was paid to developing critical thinking and the ability to apply acquired knowledge in practice. A key part of the training was the use of interactive methods, such as group discussions, case studies, role-playing, psychological training, and master classes. This helped students better understand the characteristics of human behavior and develop communication, empathy, and crisis analysis skills.
