Dear,

Basic psychology is different than applied psychology in that it focuses on theory and fundamental understanding over practical solutions to issues. Applied psychology focuses on the real-world implementation of these theories to better serve their community. One key difference between basic psychology and applied psychology is that applied psychology uses the information gathered by basic psychology in order to develop treatments or programs to solve issues people are faced with.

A bachelor's degree in applied psychology typically focuses on how to put psychological theory and techniques to work on a practical, day-to-day level. The goal is to produce professionals who can improve performance, strengthen group dynamics, and build strong client relationships in any context.

Hope this helps!
