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 flexibility and the engagement

    It is important to mention that I am studying an online, distance learning course.
    The university provides total flexibility for the program enriching it with a lot of online tools, support that is required to receive a wholistic experience.
    In only two modules, I have been amazed by the amount of information, support, tools that the university readily provides for any issue we might face.
    Other than that, there are tutors, TAs, Mental health professional, career advisor available for us for face to face (online) meetings.

    Experience with academics at Kings College London

    King’s College London is one of the leading universities in the UK as well as the world, pioneering in the field of psychological research this excellent university gives its students splendid opportunities to explore research in varied fields within psychological and genetic domains. My experience here doing masters in psychology at IOPPN so far has been a pleasant one and filled with experienced professionals who excel in their fields and give us students the best of their knowledge. Engaging classes and activities during class do nothing but encourage students to engage in their own independent studies also with studies done in class.
    King’s does it best to encourage students to participate in various societies and activities that would help them expand their knowledge and experience boundaries.
    Overall my experience at this university has been nothing less than a dream come true with great academics and fun experience’s.

    A Holistic Student Experience

    King’s College London is one of the most renowned universities in the world. I am currently in the BSc Psychology program and it is by far one of the best I have come across. The variety of module options ranges from Neuroscience to cognition, industrial psychology, clinical psychology, philosophy and more. This allows students the explore various avenues of psychology. I find this quite beneficial as I explore my two favourite fields; clinical and industrial psychology.
    Additionally, on the course, every alternate Friday we have lectures from professors and their line of study and current work. This allows students to understand the application of their knowledge to the real world. King’s has its own Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Psychology department and campus, with professors in every field. Not only do we get the best lectures from them, but we also have access to campus and world-class equipment. Aside from the program, King’s has a very vibrant community. I have always felt at home being able to participate in the student union. I was able to be a student ambassador and a first-year psychology representative, There are various platforms to represent King’s and to have a voice. The students union is by far the most welcoming community, by creating events for students to interact and network not only with each other but with role models in one’s respective fields. The student life at King’s is loud, exhilarating and engaging. Every Wednesday, after practice sports teams go to Guy’s bar (King’s underground bar), this is where students get to meet people across courses that have come from different countries to study at King’s. Not to mention, King’s has 5 campuses located around Central London, meaning you are always part of the hustle of the city. King’s is a once in a lifetime experience.
