Question

Difference between applied psychology honours and psychology honours

Answer 1

The difference between the degrees is one of emphasis. While both degrees will look at explanations for people's behaviour, Psychology (Applied) is particularly concerned with psychology's relevance to a range of everyday issues such as health, education, technology, and neuropsychological rehabilitation. If you want a degree course that explains behaviour in the context of real life, then this is the course for you.

Both courses are taught by members of the same department but you will be based at different campuses depending on your degree choice. Psychology (Applied) is based at Queen's Campus, while Psychology is based in Durham.
