More about Psychology
Students enrol in psychology for many reasons. Those aiming at an academic career require an honours degree
followed by a PhD, whereas professionals working in the community need more
specialised training.
However, most students who enrol in undergraduate psychology are not aiming at a professional career, but choose the subject because it gives them a useful background for occupations such as teaching, personnel work, law, administration, management, social research and policy development.
