Why you should opt for Applied Psychology (Hons.)
The Applied Psychology (Hons.) course offers both theoretical and practical insights into the psyche of a person who functions as an individual and also in group situations. The basic premise of Applied Psychology is the use of psychological principles and theories to overcome practical problems in fields, such as Social Psychology, Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Clinical Psychology etc. !

We all interact with dozens, if not hundreds, of people on a regular basis. Some of our encounters go better than others. Some leave us feeling uneasy and anxious. What elements of our personalities and of the people we meet make the difference? This is the subject of Social Psychology-the scientific study of how people think, influence, and relate to one another. Industrial and Organizational psychology studies people behavior in the workplace. This branch of psychology attempts to apply psychological results and methods to aid workers and organizations. Clinical psychology is the application of psychology to mental distress in a health and social care context. Clinical Psychologists assess mental health problems; conduct and use scientific research to understand these problems; develop, provide and evaluate psychological care and intervention strategies (psychotherapy). !

The Practicum Each course is supported by a practicum. As part of this, you will be involved in extensive practical applications of the theoretical knowledge gained. In the first year students focus on assessing specific abilities, interests, values, and personality characteristics in a laboratory environment. In the second year students enrolled in the fields of Social Psychology and Industrial /Organizational Psychology design research projects appropriate for the field of study. Under supervision of the coordinator of the fieldwork, students select a field site and initiate research. The primary focus of fieldwork is to provide our students with supervised hands-on experience, the ability to undertake specific tasks related to each field site and opportunities for self-exploration, research, and interviewing skills.
