The Graduate Program in Psychology (PPGP), offered by the Psychology Department at the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto School of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters, was approved by the University of São Paulo Graduate Program Council at the end of 1994, and started its activities in February/March 1995 with an Academic Master’s and a Doctoral Program, recommended by the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) in October of that same year.

The aim of the PPGP is to prepare faculty members and researchers who actively participate in scientific knowledge construction in Psychology, in a close link with social reality, grounded in the dynamics of the area as a Science. The professionals involved in the PPGP are aware that changes over time demand the construction of new psychological knowledge in order to support the expansion of their actions, and their further social involvement. Over the years, the Program has promoted restructuring movements in their curriculum as well as in the research areas, reinforcing components that enhance the integration and interdisciplinarity of its research projects. The Psychology Department at FFCLRP-USP has two Graduate Programs (Psychobiology and Psychology), compound by faculty members who are active in different areas and specialties. These faculty members are the teaching core of the research areas, and they work together with faculty members from other centers, such as the Department of Neurosciences and Behavioral Sciences of FMRP-USP and EEFERP-USP, in accordance with the traditional constitution of inter-unit and interdisciplinary research groups. Their research projects are supported by different funding agencies, mainly CAPES, the Brazilian Scientific and Technological Development Council (CNPq) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
