Joint Honours - Which Dissertation should I pick if I want to do a Masters?

I'm currently studying Psychology and Business undergrad, and I have to pick one of the two to do my dissertation on. Doing a dissertation on Psychology is mandatory to apply to be a licensed psychologist, but I'm not sure if I want to do that or branch out and do a Masters in Business.

Can I still do a masters in Business if I do my dissertation in Psychology? Or is there a way to write my dissertation combining the two topics enough that I can submit it as part of a Masters application for Business OR Psychology??
thanks for any help

Hi kyxin👋

If you're considering becoming a psychologist or don't want to rule it out, you should probably choose a topic within psychology. You'll still be considered for a master's in business.

If you don't want to pursue a career in this area I would suggest you choose a topic you're going to enjoy, whether it's psychology and business or something that ties both areas together. Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best of luck in your dissertation.
