Your career

With an accredited degree and an appropriate postgraduate qualification you could go on to be a chartered psychologist in health, clinical, forensic, child and educational or occupational psychology. You’re also equipped for a career in counselling, teaching, the probation and courts services, market research, HR or business – there’s no such thing as a traditional career path for psychology graduates.

If you do go on to become a chartered psychologist, your everyday duties would vary depending on the speciality. An occupational psychologist works to maximise employee performance and increase job satisfaction; a clinical psychologist makes positive changes in clients’ lives.

Chartered Psychologists in the NHS can earn £25,500-£34,000 a year, rising to £40k+ with experience.

Our degrees are accredited by the British Psychology Society (BPS). This meets the requirements for Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR). With GBR, you can undertake Masters/Doctoral level study leading to Chartered Membership of the BPS. You’ll need at least a Lower Second Honours degree to be eligible for GBR.

Established for 110 years The British Psychological Society promotes excellence and ethical practice in the science, education and practical application of psychology.

Placements

It’s a good idea to look for voluntary or paid placements as soon as you can – we’ll support you in this. You can also undertake an assessed placement in your final year of study.
