Psychology is an independent field of science, although it gathers the achivments from the other disciplines – from philosophy to health sciences. It describes the mechanisms that control the human psyche and allow us to understand the nature of a human – his/her emotions, motivations, but also differences and behavior in human relations. Psychology is the best choice for people who are open-minded, interested in the other people, ready not only to hear about problems, but, most of all, to listen and provide support to the others. Empathy, listening skills, openness and curiosity are qualities that a person who wants to study psychology should have.
The bachelor’s degree program is addressed not only to those thinking of working as a psychologist. It is also an option for those who plan a career in marketing agencies, business, recruitment agencies, public relations, non-governmental organizations and social welfare foundations. A bachelor’s degree is a good introduction to becoming a psychologist, but it is also a direction that will ideally fit in and broaden your education in other fields. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree, you can decide whether to continue pursuing a full degree in psychology or to acquire new knowledge and skills in other fields by becoming a multidirectional specialist.
