Psychology has become one of the most popular subjects to study in English universities. However, there can be misconceptions about the course. Here are seven of them according to ARU student Charli.
Remember this is the study of human behaviour, rather than learning magical mind-reading powers.
Ah yes, the most often-cited psychologist. Just remember guys – there are thousands of other psychologists out there.
Firstly, our studies are not just looking at someone and analysing them; and secondly, do you definitely want to hear what we might say about you? *Winking face*
That’s not something to brag about! We study some severe conditions and some very specialised cases.
Psychology requires a lot of investment of both both time and money, so mates' rates are definitely out once I'm qualified!
What's girlie about science? We might not wear white coats but psychology is a science.
We’ve studied enough statistics to know that it probably uses a bias sample or is interpreted in a skewed way.
Charli studies BSc (Hons) Psychology at ARU in Cambridge, and is also the author of the blog 15 things all students in Cambridge know to be true.
