I want to do bsc psychology. What is the difference between bsc and bsc(hons) in psychology?

Hello Ma'am!

Thank you for reaching out!

Bsc.psychology teaches basic topics like human behaviour and mental health,while Bsc.(Hons.) Psychology goes deeper with more detailed subjects,research projects etc.Both are good but Bsc.(Hons.)Psychology is better if you want strong knowledge or research work in psychology later.

Hello

The primary difference between a B.Sc and a B.Sc (Honours) in Psychology lies in the depth and focus of the academic curriculum. A B.Sc in Psychology is a general undergraduate degree that offers a broad understanding of psychology alongside other science subjects such as biology, statistics, or sociology. It provides foundational knowledge but does not focus exclusively on psychology. In contrast, a B.Sc (Honours) in Psychology is a more specialised and intensive program that offers in-depth study of psychological theories, research methods, and practical applications. Honours students often engage in independent research or dissertation work during their final year, which prepares them more effectively for postgraduate studies or professional roles in the field. Therefore, for students aiming for advanced education or a career specifically in psychology—such as clinical, counselling, or research-based professions—a B.Sc (Honours) is generally more advantageous and academically rigorous.
