A broad-based programme covering a range of theoretical, conceptual, analytical and functional skills in Psychology. You will receive a comprehensive education in Psychology, and you may choose from specialised electives such as in organisational/work psychology and health psychology/well-being.

In addition to the professional knowledge provided in this programme, SUSS offers an Integrated Pathway programme to develop interdisciplinary skills within the aviation industry. This Integrated Pathway programme, through collaboration with the Singapore Flying College (SFC), supports students in obtaining a bachelor’s degree in this programme and acquiring a Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) concurrently.
Career Prospects
A psychology bachelor's degree is a general social sciences degree. Graduates can basically work in any field. However, to pursue a career in psychology (e.g., as a clinical counsellor, educational, or academic psychologist), a higher degree in psychology is required (e.g. Master's or PhD). Some of our alumni, after having obtained an honours degree in psychology at SUSS, have pursued a master’s/ PhD degree at SUSS and in other local and international universities.
