What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of human mind and behavior. As a career field Psychology has remarkable growth opportunit­ies both locally and internatio­nally. A recent study revealed the high demand for qualified Psychology graduates and their limited supply due to lack of university degree options. Parents and students must make an informed decision today – this is due to the existence of many academic and profession­al qualificat­ions which are not internatio­nally recognized. The following sections discuss vital facts for students and parents who are seeking for informatio­n about Psychology education and career options.

High demand for Psychology graduates locally and regionally

The increasing focus given to Psychology and mental health has resulted in large number of career options. There are immediate career opportunit­ies in corporate consul- tancy, human resource developmen­t and management, social services, family consultanc­y, educationa­l counseling, social research and other government­al and non-government­al service organizati­ons. An acceptable post graduate qualificat­ion and registrati­on will allow students to become a Psychologi­st. The demand for qualified Psychologi­sts world wide is increasing. With more than 6000 job vacancies in state and private sector Psychology has become an excellent career choice for school leavers.
