Hello Student,





Welcome to careerguide.com , I am happy to see your query as I have personally offered counseling on this particular area to many students. It happens to most of us, we have interest in something but pursue something else due tocircumstances, parental pressures, availability of colleges, unplanned career decisions etc. As you have already completed your graduation with political science as your honors, let usdiscuss both the perspectives.













First of all, Political science and Psychology both belong to humanities where as Political science deals withthe study of political affairs at the state, national and international affairs , Psychology deals with the study of human behavior in different contexts. They have deeply related at root levels and the relationship between both is bi directional , where psychology is used as a lens to study politics and politics isused as a framework to apply psychology. I would suggest you to go for a masters degree in political science and take psychology in your minors or elective. This would help you get knowledge as well as pool your interest and qualifications while taking a career turn. It offers potential career options such as work for the government, legislature, as an aide or reporter, policy analysis, public relation personnel in banks and corporates,non - governmental organization's, human rights bureau, apply for civil services, or go for pursuing law. The skills developed through social sciences are quite transferable, so career options are wide and open for you and you will get numerous chances to combine your knowledge of both the subjects.







Hope you find the information useful and query cleared..
