Psychology vs. Applied Psychology

Hey! I'm trying to work out just what the difference is between a psychology course and an applied psychology course, can anyone shed any light? :smile:

If it helps, I'm hoping to go into clinical psychology..
Different modules, with a different emphasis.E.g. psych ones may go more in depth theoretically whilst the latter will go more in depth in applications in things like therapy, etc.
Applied psychology tends to be more of the psychology thats in the media. Your degree should be approved by the bps if you want to go into clinical psychology.
