The School Thread [R]

[Leto]

Thats my sports psyc class.

Thanks for all the help guys, I just went ahead and chose another topic.

Sorry if you've already mentioned this, but are you doing a psychology degree or is that a module as part of another course?

Unrelated, but coming into my mind now - is psychology taught as a science or an arts subject over there?

[benni...]

Social science in my school.

The sports psyc class was just an elective (didnt need it). My major is computer tech.

Social science in my school.


Cheers. It depends where you go here - my uni does it as a BSc, but I know some others offer it as BA. I've always wondered what the BA students do... I can't imagine it (or at least, it being useful) without the scientific element.

Well, I could almost attest to that as I am doing philosophy as well. I can tell you there's nothing marketable in philosophy... telling someone you have analytical skills and logical capacities because of philosophical training is regarded as bullshit. So. Yeah. It's hardly useful.

However, other stuff like English and stuff could see you get into the arts scene or whatever.

Don't get me wrong - I didn't mean arts in general were useless. Philosophy, English, Irish and French were the other areas I was considering getting into after school before settling on psychology (and law, but that isn't really relevant to the arts topic). I meant that I find it hard to imagine psychology as an arts subject, bereft of scientific method.

I suppose, but not too long ago during the Freud era... ; ) And still it was immensely influential with Freudian psychology being a folk notion and being socially pervasive. Of course, I'm aware Freud's clientale were of a certain class and gender only.

But yeah, Psychology with science and statistics has given it far more credibility I guess. Still not helping me find a job though.. haha.

Crim and Soc are Arts at my Uni, and Psych is behavioral Science.

Crim and Soc use a lot of scientific method though, mind you. As far as I'm concerned the BA/BS in those two and Pysch is just a letter. The methods are nearly the same.
