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.

    The campus, the teachers, the electronic resources and the academic curriculum.

    The University of the Andes has an incredible campus. It is large, has spaces (both open and closed) for various types of activities and is aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, the electronic resources of the Andes is very extensive and very rich in information. Every time you need to find an article or a book about something it is very likely that it is either in the university database or in the library. Now, I think that the academic curriculum has very positive things. For example, it has a logical and structured order that allows students to obtain the necessary knowledge, according to the semester in which they are. In addition, the classes are in accordance with the learning objectives. Finally, the teachers of the Andes are of high quality, since a great majority have the disposition to teach, the necessary knowledge and they are pleasant people with their students.

    I have the abilities so face my career.

    It is a good university, very research focused. It has made a name for itself that helps when you are applying for jobs. They promote independence and autonomy, although guidance is available at all times. It is an expensive university, you need to be really sure if its good for you.

    Very good

    It’s a good university, the installations are big, and most of the classrooms are comfortable. Most of the professors have PHD but not every professor is an educator. Surely, this depends on your major.
