With so many degree options out there, here are some top reasons why you should study Psychology
A Psychology degree will equip you with the necessary skills to analyse various problems, enhance your critical thinking skills, research about patient issues and solve them with your knowledge.
A degree in Psychology does not necessarily make you a Psychologist. It provides you with sufficient knowledge so you are able to venture into many different types of fields such as Corporate Communications, Counselling, Clinical Psychology, Teaching, Marketing, Human Resources, etc. Because knowledge gained through this course is able to be applied in many job scopes, you are free to apply for a job in most companies.
As much as we would like to tell you that you can read minds after studying Psychology, the truth is, you can’t. This course deals a lot with thought processes and how the brain functions so you’ll be able to read people’s body language and interpret non-verbal communication. Just ensure that you’re using your knowledge for good though.
“Psychology is describing things which everyone knows in language which no one understands.”
- Raymond Cattell
(Psychologist and world's leading personality theorists)
Important Note: If you opt to study a Diploma in Psychology and continue your degree at the same institution, you will most likely get a one-year exemption. This means that you can enter degree year 2 after diploma..
It is not necessary to do postgraduate but doing so would help you advance in your career and open up more job opportunities. You can opt to work straight after degree as well.
Psychology will entail dealing with people, both young and old, most of whom will be apprehensive to open and tell you their problems. You’ll have to establish rapport and establish a connection with them to ever stand a chance of treating them.
You need to be able to pose questions to potential patients that will help lead them to the root cause of their problem. You’ll also need to convey complicated explanations in an easy to understand manner to your patients.
Sometimes, you’ll see immediate progress with your patients. Others will take ages before they open up, taking their first step on the road to recovery. Either way, you will need to be patient with all of them, as many will act out due to their illnesses.
