what is the difference between bsc psychology course and ba psychology honours course?
Hello,
- The duration of both programmes is three years.
- The primary difference between the two disciplines lies in the coursework and syllabus; BA Psychology as a discipline is oriented towards liberal arts while BSc psychology is more technical and scientific with a focus on maths and statistics.
- BA Psychology is ideal for students who have a liberal arts background and wish to pursue a career in fields like counselling, education, social work, journalism, law while BSc in Psychology is for students with a science background who wish to enter the medical profession or study neurosciences.
- As a BA psychology major student, you are more likely to get electives from the Art stream while as a BSc psychology student, you will get science subjects as electives.
- Both the degrees are well-respected, valuable as well as marketable. Whichever programme you choose should depend on your interest and preference.
