The Bachelor's Degree in Psychology aims to train, at a general, non-specialized level, professionals with the scientific knowledge necessary to understand, interpret, analyze, and explain human behavior, and with the basic skills and abilities to assess and intervene at the individual and social levels throughout the life cycle, in order to promote and improve health and quality of life. All of this is based on a commitment to the ethical and deontological principles of the psychological profession. The degree therefore provides the basic professional competencies of a psychologist.
In accordance with the professional profile of the psychologist, future students pursuing this degree should generally have a defined vocational perspective in the field of psychology, and specifically in its traditional professional fields: clinical and health psychology; educational psychology; work, organizational, and human resources psychology; and social and community intervention psychology. They should also have a strong interest in both basic and applied research, paying special attention to functional studies of the brain and its relationship to behavior.
Although they can be accessed from any post-secondary education option, we must remember that these studies belong to the health sciences branch of knowledge and, therefore, the Baccalaureate subjects most closely related to them are biology, chemistry, and mathematics (scientific and/or statistical). It is also considered essential for new students to have a basic level of English and computer skills.
The degree in Psychology provides basic professional skills for psychologists. It qualifies for general practice in a variety of settings (clinical; educational; work, organizations, and human resources; social and community; psychogerontology; sports psychology; forensic; developmental disorders; drug addiction, etc.). Some areas of professional psychology may require official advanced qualifications, which can only be accessed after obtaining a degree in Psychology.
The main career opportunities are oriented toward practice in health promotion and intervention centers and programs: hospitals, foundations, and private practices in the field of clinical and health psychology; education: social systems dedicated to education at all levels and modalities, both regulated and non-regulated, formal and informal; work and organizations: management and human development in organizations, marketing and consumer affairs, conflicts in organizations, occupational health and safety, occupational risk prevention, ergonomics, and the work environment; social intervention: community intervention, social mediation, socio-laboral guidance and integration, psychosocial consulting, program evaluation, and environmental psychology.
