Overview
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists are actively involved in studying and understanding mental processes, brain functions, and behaviour. It is an academic discipline of immense scope and is one of the fastest growing profession.
With advanced training in psychology, one can choose to work in scientific research, neuroscience, clinical practice, or as a consultant in large corporations, hospitals or government agencies.
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to think of a facet of life where psychology is not involved. Psychologists employ the scientific method – stating the question, offering a theory and then constructing rigorous laboratory or field experiments to test the hypothesis. Psychologists apply the understanding gleaned through research to create evidence-based strategies that solve problems and improve lives.
The result is that psychological science unveils new and better ways for people to exist and thrive in a complex world.
