Hello Aspirant,
If you are truly passionate about Psychology, don't worry, even without a background in the area, it is definitely possible to change your academic journey. Here's what you can do:
- Learn the Fundamentals – Reach out into beginner topics in Psychology, such as cognitive, development and social psychology.
- Commit your Time – Commit to learning at least 1–2 hours per day in the beginning. As it is new, you will want to be consistent in study and revision in order to grasp the fundamentals.
- Construct your Journey – Depending on what level you obtained your degree, you can study a Master's in Psychology after your degree (certain institutes will allow you to apply from any background), or you could think about taking a diploma/certificate course to start with.
- Keep Exploring – Read some introductory books about the area such as, “Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behaviour”.
-
Talk to people – Connect and converse about psychology with students or practitioners of psychology, so you are enlightened on a range of career possibilities (clinical, counselling, research and so on).
