WHY Psychology?
PSYCHOLOGY Touches Every Aspect of Our Life
Dr Jane Montage (PhD, Psychology)
Deputy Head of Department Life Sciences
and Head of Psychology,
University of Derby.
Acquiring the knowledge of how people think and what drives us to do what
we do can help us to counsel those in pain, and/or guide those dealing with
mental ill health issues and addiction problems. This is very beneficial for those
who are already in or are interested in fulfilling careers in the social service
sector.
Taking up psychology will equip you with strong communication skills and a
more in depth understanding of human behaviour, which are invaluable skills
for sales and marketing representatives.
Psychology graduates are also highly sought after in the Human Resources
& Recruitment sector. With a good grasp of people, their motivations and
why they act as they do, they make sure that people are happy at work and
performing to the best of their abilities. Businesses also use their expertise to
increase productivity, test products and to identify employees who are the
best fit for particular jobs and tasks within an organization.
Having a psychology degree will also help you excel in the public sector,
particularly in education. Possessing good analytical, data collection and
problem-solving skills, psychology graduates can be tasked to assess students’
abilities as well as the development of the educational curriculum. They form
effective relationships with both parents and teachers, ensuring that school
pupils are being taught and well taken care of in schools.
The benefits of having a psychology degree is inexhaustible.
9Why Bachelor of Science (Hons) Psychological Studies?
The Bachelor of Science (Hons) Psychological Studies programme is
a 9 months final year direct honours degree programme. The course
curriculum offered in Singapore is exactly the same offered in University
of Derby.
Psychology is the scientific study of human thought and behaviour.
You’ll learn about contemporary research into the social,
developmental, cognitive and biological dimensions of behaviour.
And you’ll look at the applications of psychology in a wide range of
areas, from understanding the nature and causes of mental illness,
to investigating decision making in real-life situations. We teach a
‘research-led’ degree, which means you’ll be taught by staff who are
doing research in that area of psychology and you’ll be studying in a
lively department with a flexible portfolio of courses.
This course builds on and embellishes the knowledge you have gained
from your diploma, with a further study stage to give you a full honours
degree in BSc (Hons) Psychological Studies.
