Okay.
The application stuff I mentioned earlier
was actually application for psychology courses in UTAR Kampar.
I went all the way down to the place yesterday
and paid for the registration fee and got info of the course.
Then later at night,
my dad asked me why was it stated SOCIAL SCIENCE on the pay list.
Just so you know,
psychology is a wide wide field.
So I wiki-ed behaviourial science,
which is the one I wish to study,
and I got this.
Difference between behavioural sciences and social sciences
The term behavioural sciences is often confused with the term social sciences. Though these two broad areas are interrelated and study systematic processes of behaviour, they differ on their level of scientific analysis of various dimensions of behaviour.
Behavioural sciences abstract empirical data to investigate the decision processes and communication strategies within and between organisms in a social system. This involves fields like psychology and social neuroscience (psychiatry), and genetics among others.
In contrast, Social sciences provide a perceptive framework to study the processes of a social system through impacts of social organization on structural adjustment of the individual and of groups. They typically include fields like sociology, economics, history, counselling, public health, anthropology, and political science (E. D. Klemke, R. Hollinger and A. D. Kline, eds., 1988).
And so,
the psychology UTAR offered is not the psychology I want.
Yea I know it is complicated.
Whatever.
Application fee, wasted.
Toll fee, wasted.
Petrol, wasted.
Our time and energy, wasted.
End of story.

u wanna do psychology? :DDD
psychology is under social sciences ma, bu shi ma? i think the diff is btwn a Bachelor of Arts in Psych and a Bachelor of Science in Psych, BSc has more science components compared to BA but both also include research. Both can get you into clinical psychology after your basic degree ^^
just my two cents :))

I am scared I would be choosing the wrong one!
Rather take up bachelor of science
More secure
