What is a Psychology Degree?

 

Psychology is the favourite science for students who want to get into the depths of human feelings. This is considered to be the science of mind and behaviour. More specifically, psychology wants to explore the way people think, act, and feel, by appealing to the emotional side of people.

Passion can lead students to choose this specialisation. It is not considered a difficult one, but it is not very easy to approach, as the theoretical elements of the discipline are combined with the practical ones.

After studying Psychology, students choose to specialise in a particular sub-field. Depending on their preference, they can choose between Biological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Comparative Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Personality Psychology and many others.

Benefits of a Psychology Degree

Psychology is a great opportunity to get to know each other better and to get to know others. Thus, students who are looking to understanding human behaviour, feelings and mind gain an inside vision of what these notions really mean and what determines people to make certain decisions and act under different circumstances.

The employment rate among Psychology graduates has grown in recent years. Salaries are satisfactory, and young people can focus either on psychological services in schools, hospitals, treatment centres, clinics, depending on the specialisation chosen. Furthermore, Psychology graduates can integrate a career in social media, marketing, and advertising, as they understand best the reasons why people choose to make decisions according to what they see in real life.

Psychology Degree Structure

In the four years of Bachelor studies, graduates acquire the necessary knowledge to practice Psychology, initially learning the underlying theoretical notions. These notions become an important starting point in their career, seeing later how practice blends very well with theory. It should be noted that on the labour market, students who hold a Bachelor’s degree are much more appreciated and have an advantage over those who follow simple courses.

A Master’s program usually lasts between 2 and 3 years, coming as a complement to the Bachelor’s courses. Master courses have a much more loaded curriculum and a great deal of information. A Doctoral program is dedicated to students who want to do research in Psychology in various institutes or to become teachers. This has a duration of between 5 and 7 years.

    Simplicity

    I think this program is very easy if you follow what the teachers teach in class and also read back to back so that you do not fall off. Also, learn time management so that things will be a lot easier for you.

    Student Experience

    I enjoyed that courses were offered during the day, including evenings and weekends, which gave me the flexibility to work around my personal schedule. The professors were always very knowledgeable and supportive of my learning. There were lots of student services to assist with my academic growth and development. The one thing l would have like changed is to have more variety in the courses that were available within and outside of my Psychology major, as the selection of courses was quite limited. Overall, l value my experiences over the years with the university and was fortunate enough to have been allowed to work alongside my professor in the “Technology in Society” course.

    I’ve learned a lot in my major

    The school struggles to find teachers that always answer their students. My major courses have been great but the general education courses aren’t the best. They’re very disorganized but other than that my program is great!

    Campus and Culture

    The campus was large but easy to navigate. The student councils all had great people and I love every professor I have. My favourite place now is the Yorku library. Their English Literature program has the most diverse course selection out of the Universities I applied to.
