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.

    Staff Support

    Bangor university is excellent for their ongoing support to ensure success amongst all students. The university experience while completing a masters can become overwhelming however Bangor university has plenty of resources. Although the program I am studying is excellent, they don’t prepare international students for adapting to the requirements of assignments that local students learned in their undergrad.

    Come here if you want to reach your full potential

    Many universities ask for top grades, and unsurprisingly have a lot of students graduating with top grades. What Bangor does though, is take students with slightly lower grades, and turns them into students achieving top grades. The support available at Bangor is unbeatable. A lot of universities want you to prove what you can do for them, whereas Bangor University wants to show what it can do for you. If you go to Bangor, you will come out with a better result than you would get elsewhere. That gold award for teaching isn’t just for decoration. That’s its biggest selling point.

    Bangor is quieter than city universities, so if you’re looking for a wide selection of clubs to go to on nights out, you’ll lose out compared to friends at those unis. But pretty much the whole town of Bangor is built around the University, so you won’t be short of places to eat and things to do. Bangor is particularly well known for its sport too, and most students seem to do at least one. The location is perfect for this, making it simple to do anything from sailing to orienteering. You’ll also find it easier to budget too, as Bangor is a lot cheaper than most other places. It’s also one of the only universities I’ve heard of where there are more houses than students, so landlords are much easier to deal with and rent is cheap as it gets.

    So whilst I can’t fully recommend it to people looking for an exciting city type environment, I can fully recommend it to anyone looking to achieve their full potential at university. You won’t be bored, you will make friends and you won’t regret it.

    Very well structured modules, all the staff are very attentive and helpful and go above and beyond to make sure you’re well equipped and set up to get assignments and exams done to the best of your ability. University is very caring towards extenuating circumstances and makes sure you’re not left behind.
