If you are interested in psychology then go for it.
If you have a specific career in mind, it may be worth having a look at the professional bodies for that area and then looking at the courses that they accredit.

It’s very limited unless you wish to carry on past masters and phd to go the psychologist route.
Even lesser roles still require an MA in order to be looked at for employment as it has been a rather over subscribed course for a fair few years. Yet we also have a shortage of psychologists….
There’s a large amount of courses available for lower end counselling stuff. CBT and the like. *Cognitive behavioural therapy rather than cock and ball tourture…. It is Fab after all. |

It’s worthwhile doing if you know what you want to do and you’re willing to continue on to study a specialism after you graduate. Like any academic subject, you’re unlikely to come out if it and walk into a related job with the degree alone

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I'm primarily going to look into the counselling side of things, so I'm hoping it will open a few more doors.
Would love to become an actual psychiatrist but I would need a medical degree as well... And I definitely haven't got the patience for 6+ years of study.  |

A degree in psychology is the starting point if you want to go on and train clinically. you need to make sure the course would be BPS accredited in order to get access to further training. That might also involve time spent in assistant roles to gain experience
There are (or used to be) more fast tracked training programmes which offer a more limited scope towards focused roles
