A degree from the Faculty of Psychology equips you with knowledge and skills that are valued across a wide range of careers. Throughout your studies, you will develop expertise through coursework, assessments, projects, and practical training.

When applying for jobs, the learning outcomes of your programme and courses can also help you describe your skills, knowledge, and qualifications to future employers.

Academic Programmes and Professional Degrees

Most degree programmes at the Faculty of Psychology are academic programmes. This means you develop expertise within a specific field of study rather than training for a single profession.

As a result, many of our programmes can lead to a wide range of career paths. The opportunities available to you will depend on factors such as your combination of subjects, your interests, and the experience you gain during your studies.

Professional degree programmes are different. They are designed to prepare you for a specific profession, such as becoming a psychologist.
