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.
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.
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 City South campus was set in the perfect location based on the courses it was offering. The majority of courses were vocational or directed towards mature students and the rich community and outstanding building made you feel that you’ve come to the right place.

View moreWhilst studying at university as a first year student, I can say, it was pretty daunting to begin with. A new whole chapter of more education (yes more!) in an entire new and unfamiliar place, with no one familiar. The induction week at this university in particular was very “out there” and personally, made me feel like everyone was comfortable with each other -somewhat.
However, one thing I will complain about is the organisation. While going through clearing and thought to have completed my application, I still had an outstanding task and wasn’t informed about it until I had to -myself- put a concern in for not receiving my badge and from there only then I found out.
I enjoyed my time at BCU. My first year was a little shaky at first. I was finding it difficult to adapt because it was very different from college and school life. However, I was fortunate to have very sportive tutors. I formed good relationships with them and they helped when I needed it.
