Psychology is a science whose central theme is the study of mental processes and behaviour. It broadly involves studying how we process our thinking systems; interact with one another and our environment. Psychology is both an academic discipline and an applied science as it is concerned with both the generation and development of psychological knowledge as well as improving human quality of life. To achieve these ends, psychologists work in a broad range of research and applied settings. The study of Psychology is undoubtedly necessary and crucial particularly in developing countries like Zimbabwe where professional psychologists generally lack, yet the need for specific psychological services is great. The Bachelor of Science Honours Degree in Psychology is designed to provide each student with comprehensive up-to-date knowledge of the specialty areas of psychology and the methods used in psychological research. These specialty areas might include clinical/health, community/social, developmental/child/aging, industrial/organisational, educational/learning/cognitive, biopsychology/ neuropsychology and legal psychology. The specialty areas provide a basis for careers in a variety of psychology related occupations such as mental health agencies, hospitals, businesses and public organisations. The degree thus, prepares students to take up psychology related jobs in industry, education, rehabilitation, health sector, law courts and many more. Furthermore, the degree prepares students for graduate training in fields such as Clinical, Educational, Industrial, Rehabilitation, Forensic and Counselling.
