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.

    Professors

    There are many excellent aspects of this program, however one in particular that I would like to highlight is the quality of the faculty. The faculty in this program are not only experienced practitioners but also active researchers. Their experience and perspective really elevates this program, especially since the classes are usually small enough to facilitate direct learning from them.

    The skills learned and acquired.

    I had previous experience from DEREE, as an undergraduate student. I was aware about the operation of this institution and what has really impressed me was that the graduate professors were more punctual, as regards feedback and the distribution of our mark schemes. That way I was aware of my errors and areas for improvement. Also, the practicum component of my program is very important for my profession and I am glad I have this opportunity to complete one.

    Culturally Inclusive, Competency Focused College

    Deree, The American College of Greece is a multicultural institution that supports diversity and spreads awareness about different cultural traditions on the regular.
    Most professors are really engaged and committed to helping students actually learn their materials.
    Campus life is great. Every day includes a different event, organized by students for students, music, food, seasonal decorations, numerous clubs anyone can join, and more.
    Classes are engaging, collaborative and most of them are really interesting, even if the course is a liberal education one and not one of your major’s.
    On the negative side, student requests and some student concerns must be addressed mainly by emails and petitions, something that can be quite frustrating since you cannot actually talk to a specific person about it, but you always have to wait for a council’s reply.
