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.
I am going into my final year at QM as a psychology undergraduate. So far I have really enjoyed my time here and did not realise how quickly the 2yrs went by. The Uni provides a variety of options for activities such as sports, clubs, etc. Joining one will really enhance your experience here at QM. The lecturers are also very supportive and provide a fun learning atmosphere.
View moreAt the masters level, the university allows students to be independent and seek their own initiative. However, the university lacks resources in helping students with their plans for the future after graduation, as well as helping with dissertation etc.
View moreExcellent resources, support staff and always ready to help! Lecturers, supervisors and tutors are very helpful and always provide support and guidance where needed. All campuses are nice and libraries are amazing
View moreIt is one of the top universities in the UK. But unfortunately the staff here is not very helpful both in terms of teaching and guidance. The management needs to put more work into fixing that because every student is paying a lot tuition fee.
View moreVery nice and clean! Staff is decent but the students are better! Everyone is helpful and willing to go above and beyond. Also the diversity is amazing and truly inspiring. I would highly recommend this university to anyone.
View moreI think the turnaround for grades at this uni is very good however the master’s students are very isolated from the rest of the uni. It would be great to have some sort of common room for MSc students to work and socialise
View moreUniversity was overall, average. Nothing particularly special, the majority of the work was able to do from home which was a plus, however when coming in to study was a difficult staff as there’s a lack of resources i.e library always packed.
View moreOverall had an average experience, was able to a majority of work from home and so didn’t have to come into uni much. However, I feel like there should be more space in terms of computers as the places were always full.
