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.

StudentFantasticI loved my time at this university. The amount of support I received was truly commendable.
Although it does depend on the professors you had. The lack of email quantity is something to be improved however I learnt a lot of lessons whilst here.

University overall is very good! Would 100% recommend! Loved the societies and the atmosphere however some of the lectures are not as helpful as other and lack detail so very hard to do independent reading.

OmotaraGBMental Health SavioursI started at Nottingham Trent in 2019 – excited to embark on this new educational journey and make some life-long friends. Unbeknownst to me there would be a worldwide pandemic that would destroy thousands of lives and any dreams I had of having a normal degree. The COVID-19 lockdown impacted everyone’s mental health, especially university students. As my mental health started to deteriorate and I fell behind with lectures I began to worry that I wouldn’t make it to see my graduation day. My friend helped me reach out to my tutor and head of year about how bad I was doing. After this we managed to come up with a plan together as to how I would carry out the rest of the assessments that year, I was also offered 6 weeks of counselling sessions and every week I was called by the well-being centre at uni to check up on me. I remember talking to friends at other universities about the support I had received and I was shocked to find out that this same level of support wasn’t received everywhere. Due to the amazing mental health team and the help of my tutors I was able to graduate this year with a 2:1, I am so incredibly grateful still!

It’s a really good university with good teaching and facilities to help you do well in your course. The staff are really supportive and friendly – the night life in Nottingham is really great especially with Trent being so close to all the clubs and bars. Even though it isn’t a russel group uni, it has improved massively in terms of teaching quality
