Psychology studies the human mind and behaviour and seeks to understand and explain thought and emotion. Most psychology programmes seek to give students a broad background in practical applications, experimental methodology, information technology, and theory construction. Psychology modules include research, statistic methods, brain behaviour, and different branches of psychology such as criminal, educational, applied, law, management and forensic.
There are two types of undergraduate psychology degrees: the Bachelor of Arts, which focuses on liberal arts and education, and the Bachelor of Science, which examines science and mathematics.
Psychology graduates move into various public and private sector roles, including human resources, social work, mental health care, psychotherapy, advertising, marketing and teaching.
