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.

JhenelleOutstanding and DreadfulStarting a cosmetics degree, at this university proved to be greater than my expectations, and worse than my fears. After not being able to meet our coordinator at induction, we were then informed she was on leave until further notice. It’s got worse as the year progressed and everything felt fourth of washed and overcomplicate it. At the same time the lecturers involved and the school surroundings have been inclusive, informative, and all around welcoming; with the slight bump in the road at the beginning of the year showed me how important it is to have a solid foundation in your degree. As I continue, I look forward to seeing how the school better themselves along with how I am able to use it to mature myself.

Cosmetic Science06 Apr, 2022 StudentSupportive
My programme is cosmetic science I completely love it and am obsessed with it, the school is very supportive they are always there to help, and yes we have many international students in cosmetic science and pharmacy and business courses. The school is doing great but maybe the city needs an improvement for university students because it is a small city and maybe they can open a better shopping centre for the students to do something at the weekend but it is not a big deal because Newcastle is very close to Sunderland so the student can go there.
