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.

    Overall it's a decent university

    I wholeheartedly recommend Cardiff University to anyone considering studying there. The university is particularly convenient because of how close it is to the town centre. The school facilities are constantly getting enhanced, but I do see that the science programs have far superior lecture halls and classrooms. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. Within the institution, I have participated in a variety of lectures, seminars, and practical lessons. Each has given me the necessary information and abilities. I have made a lot of close friends and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

    This programme was fully remote which was great as it allowed me to work alongside studying. I was able to complete all lectures at times that suited me as they were all pre-recorded.
    Support was available readily and I was able to email my personal tutor for any help or support that I needed.
    For each module there were group zoom calls to check in with the tutors and other students to discuss coursework and lectures.
    The lectures were very informative and helpful for all my coursework.

    A prestigious university with a friendly atmosphere

    Cardiff Uni is a highly respected university for its research and teaching. The lecturers I was taught by are all highly qualified academians and most seem to have a passion for teaching.
    One of my favourite things about Cardiff is the campus, or lack thereof. Cardiff Uni is made up of a number of buildings near the city centre which means students feel part of the city rather than isolated from it, and means there’s no imposing ‘school’ atmosphere. Some of the buildings are beautiful period buildings, and some are incredibly modern.
    The student support at Cardiff is excellent. The careers advisers I have seen are incredibly helpful, friendly, and understanding. The well-being and advice team are also brilliant and easy to access.
