Psychology is a study of the human mind and behaviour.
Apart from being able to provide therapy and counselling, having knowledge in psychology will allow better development of training and learning materials. This is important for corporations to better understand the needs of their employees and to provide better training workshops to upskill them.
A Degree in Psychology will let you gain deeper insights on the workings of the human mind. You will understand more about what people think, feel and behave. A Psychology Degree will also lay a strong foundation for you to pursue your postgraduate (specialisation) studies in order to practise as a certified psychologist.

To pursue a Degree in Psychology, the typical entry requirements are:
- A-Level: Minimum 2Es; or
