What qualification and academics are required to become a psychology professor or researcher?

A career as a professor requires a graduate-level education, subject-area expertise and the desire to share knowledge. Professors teach academic or career topics to students pursuing college or university degrees. They conduct original research, publish findings in academic journals and books, prepare curricula, give lectures and evaluate students. Education Most institutions of higher education require professors have a minimum of a doctoral degree in an academic field of study. A doctoral degree requires three years of study, or more, beyond the master's degree level. Community colleges and career training centers may hire a professor with a Master's degree. Some universities require professors to have completed education coursework. Doctoral students pursue original research in their areas of expertise during the dissertation phase of such programmes.
