Course Information

Course Overview

The Bachelor (Hons) in Psychology at Kings University College is a comprehensive undergraduate degree that provides students with a rigorous, scientifically grounded education in the study of human behaviour and mental processes. Spanning three years with a full industrial training component, this MQA-accredited programme covers all core domains of psychology — including cognitive, developmental, social, biological, and abnormal psychology — while also advancing into clinical, counselling, sports, positive, multicultural, and gender psychology at more specialised levels.

Studying a psychology degree in Malaysia at Kings University College equips students with both the theoretical depth and the research competencies required for professional psychology practice, postgraduate study, and a wide range of applied careers in mental health, HR, education, health services, and social work. The programme develops strong analytical, critical thinking, and research skills through coursework, practical activities, and supervised research projects — ensuring graduates can apply psychological principles rigorously and ethically across diverse real-world contexts.

Year 1 establishes the breadth of psychology — introducing students to cognitive, developmental, social, biological, educational, personality, and health psychology. Year 2 deepens this foundation with sport psychology, abnormal psychology, the history of psychology, ethics, research methodology, measurement and evaluation, positive psychology, multicultural psychology, and gender psychology. Year 3 advances into comparative psychology, clinical psychology, counselling psychology, psychology of addiction, sensation and perception — before students complete their supervised industrial training in a real-world psychology-related setting.

Upon graduation, students can pursue the Kings Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Education (M.Ed) — extending their academic credentials toward postgraduate and leadership roles in business, education, or mental health sectors.
