Hi There,
Before I answer your query.My question to you is Do you wish to pursue a B.Sc or a BA in Psychology.
When you attain a B.Sc in Psychology, though you do not have Biology as a separate subject, but Psychology and Biology are interlined.Though they would emphasize on studying Biology and its connection with the mind.When it comes to BA in Psychology, though the student knows bits and parts of biology, since Psychology is mind science, they are more exposed to concepts of Psychology in relation to Psychometric assessments and therapies.
So based on the degree you opt for the subjects would follow.
Generally someone interested in Criminology or forensic Psychology at the masters level, opts for a B.Sc in Psychology.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck...............
Dear Aspirant,
Thanks for writing to www.CareerGuide.com!
No. You do not require to have biology as a subject to become a psychologist. After 12th, you can pursue either BSc or BA, then MSc or MA, and PhD. To become a clinical psychologist, you can do MPhil in clinical psychology. However, biology helps you study clinical psychology better. There is one subject in masters course, psycho-biology or biological basis of bahavior.
If you are looking forward to bece psychiatrist, you need biology and complete MBBS. After MBBS, you can opt for MD in psychiatry to become psychiatrist.
Hope this is helpful. Best Wishes,Apurva Kumar Pandya, PhD
