Hey,

Applied psychology focuses more on the real- world implementation of these theories to better serve their community.

Basic psychology is different than applied psychology because in this it focuses on theory and fundamental understanding over practical solutions to issues.

A degree in applied psychology is a good fit for those who have an interest in studying how human behavior affects the workings of industries.

Analyse what is your interest and choose between them.

Career options after MSc applied psychology : Human resource manager, psychological consultant, Psychiatrist, research associate.

Career options after Master's in psychology: staff recruiter, HR manager, Mental health Counselor, Urban planning officer, Counselor, Social psychologist, Educational psychologists.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

Greetings!!

It totally depends upon your interest as to in which course you are more interested because in applied psychology it is more inclined towards theory and it's application in the practical life , it is regarding the real world application and implementation for example in the criminal justice system. While in psychology it focuses on the everyday phenomenon.

so, psychology is where you learn about normal theories, memory and personality.

Applied psychology is specialised about practicality and research oriented.

thus you should pursue a course in which you are interested.
