Applied psychology is when an understanding of psychology is applied to real world problems. Consider how technology has changed many aspects of life such as the workplace, entertainment, socialising, learning, even how we shop. Sport, health and even learning are made clearer through the application of psychological principles.

New technologies are changing how we communicate and work, text messaging, social networking sites, online chat, etc. How will these change society and how we interact? Everything is made clearer through the application of psychological principles. This degree is a unique opportunity to study how psychology applies to everyday life, especially our use of technology, and how it can create new ways to improve our quality of life.
