THOSE interested in pursuing an education in psychology are often met with questions like “Do you analyse people?” or “Can you find a job after graduation?” In point of fact, the field of psychology is vast and diverse as it is all encompassing and relates to every aspect of life.
This path can lead to a rewarding career. In fact, a background in psychology is said to increase one’s chances of employability as psychology assists one to better understand oneself and other people, and helps develop analytical skills and grasp research methods.
Disted College’s School of Psychology offers a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons). The programme is conceived via a collaborative effort with HELP University, a pioneer in psychology studies among private institutions and one of the largest and most established undergraduate psychology education providers in Asia.
