Psychology is the study of human behaviour and mental processes, giving people the tools to improve their decision-making, stress management, performance and self-confidence. The modern-day Psychologist may work across a range of environments including health, business, sport, marketing, human resources, education and more. Psychologists deal with more than just mental health, applying their knowledge to relationships, workplace stress and financial challenges.
As Psychologists branch out into diverse industries, the number of available jobs is increasing. Within the next five years, job openings are expected to increase by 30%, which means that each year, 7,600 new jobs will be generated*.
