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.

AlbaMuch to improveI have spent several years studying at the University of the Basque Country, first at the Guipúzcoa campus, where I studied Psychology, and then at the Vizcaya campus, where I studied a Master. As for the students and many of the teachers, I have no complaints, I have had good friends and I have had the opportunity to be a student of great professionals who I admire very much. However, the quality of the training provided has a lot of room for improvement, an excessive emphasis is put on things that really have nothing to do with learning and use (infinite group work, theoretical exams, compulsory attendance …) . None of these factors ensures that a student has taken advantage of his or her academic experience successfully, much less that he or she will become a good professional. I therefore believe that the UPV should rethink the efficiency of its teaching methods.
Regarding other aspects, such as facilities, funding facilities (scholarships), possibilities for training programs abroad (Erasmus) … I believe that the UPV presents a good option as a national public university.
