Psychology is an exciting course to study; it allows you to understand human behaviours while teaching you how to figure out how people think and feel.
With a degree in psychology, you can learn about what makes people do what they do and why people’s personalities change over time. You can use the knowledge to pursue your interest in other professions like law enforcement, counselling and sports, or even establish a private psychology practice.
However, getting a degree in psychology comes at a cost. You will have to pay a certain tuition fee to an educational institution to learn about psychology and get awarded a degree within a specific time.
The cost of getting a degree in psychology depends on many factors, including the reputation of the school you want to attend, where the school is located, what majors you wish to specialise in, the level of financial assistance you have, your intended career goals.
Schools with more popularity and better credibility often cost more than other institutions. The leading public offering psychology degrees usually charge annual tuition fees from over $10,000 for residents and up to $35,000 for non-residents, and almost $40,000 for private schools.
The university’s location also plays a massive part in the amount you will have to pay in getting a psychology degree at the university. Some schools in some regions in Australia charge more tuition than other schools in other parts of the country.
Also, the area you want to specialise in after getting the degree determines how much you will have to pay for a psychology degree. For example, sports psychologists typically earn between $45,000 and $80,000, while those who work closely with athletes can make six figures, which significantly reduces the cost of getting a psychology degree.
At the end of it all, experts agree that the total cost of a psychology degree includes the tuition charged by various schools, the length of time spent getting a psychology degree, and whether a student is paying personally or a scholarship is sponsoring a student.
