What career will I have?
A degree in psychology can lead to all sorts of jobs, in all kinds of industries. Virtually any setting where knowledge of human behaviour and interactions is useful may employ a psychology graduate.
Jobs can include:
- Industrial/Organisational Psychologist: Includes testing/surveying employees, assessment prior to employment, advising on recruitment methods, designing and implementing staff training and training.
- Clinical Psychologist: includes assessing client issues, developing treatment plans and applying therapy to address these
- Community Development/Support: Includes developing networks and support for community groups and people in need. Help them to access funds, information and helping develop resources
- Public Health/Health Promotion: includes developing policies, strategies and programmes for improving health of the community, managing those programmes and promoting those
- Social Research
- Human Resources
- Case Management
- Policy Analysis
- Youth Support Worker
It is important to note that specialisations such as clinical or industrial psychology do require more than an undergraduate degree – you’ll need to do some post-graduate study too. In New Zealand, the term psychologist is a protected term and you need to be registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board in order to legally call yourself a psychologist.
Becoming a Clinical Psychologist
To become a registered Clinical Psychologist or registered applied/general psychologist you’ll need to start with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (3 years)/Graduate Diploma of Arts or Science (Psychology) (1 year)
