In a remarkable milestone for the Psychology Department of New York College, a group of recent graduates, all holders of a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited\u00a0BSc degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counseling<\/a>\u00a0of the University of Greater Manchester, UK offered at NYC Athens, made a compelling academic debut at the 14th Panhellenic Conference in Social Psychology, organized by ELPSE in Rethymno, Crete. Their participation, marked by oral presentations and poster sessions, not only showcased the depth and rigor of their undergraduate research, but also demonstrated the College\u2019s enduring commitment to fostering scientific inquiry, critical analysis, and international-level scholarship.
The students were accompanied on the trip by Aliki Kekia, MSc, Psychology Technician and full-time member of the NYC Department of Psychology research staff, who supported their participation and represented the Department\u2019s research activity.<\/p>\n

Representing the BSc (Hons) in Psychology, Psychotherapy & Counselling, the graduates presented studies addressing timely and socially pressing issues: the psychological effects of social media, the interplay between gender roles and harmful social myths, and the dynamics of image-based abuse. Under the academic guidance of faculty and research advisors from New York College and the University of Greater Manchester, these emerging researchers displayed exceptional professionalism and academic maturity.<\/p>\n

Their presence at the conference highlighted a powerful truth: when students are given the space, structure, and encouragement to engage in real research, they rise to the challenge\u2014and often exceed expectations. Their work not only sparked discussions among distinguished scholars and practitioners but also positioned them as promising young voices in the field of social psychology.<\/p>\n

Notably, their academic journeys continue to flourish beyond their undergraduate studies:<\/p>\n
