Employer-valued skills this course develops
This programme is specifically designed to enable students with a non-psychology background to pursue a psychology-based career, many of which require a BPS-accredited degree for further training. This degree will therefore help prepare graduates for a subsequent career in, for example, clinical psychology, educational psychology, organisational and occupational psychology, and forensic psychology.
You will acquire a number of skills on completion of the programme, including enhancing your ability to think critically and solve problems, to learn through teamwork and be engaged in a student-led project. You will also become an engaged and participative leader in debates on psychological issues, and the diversity of assignments you will complete will make you adaptable and resilient.
Careers services
Our careers teams at the Career Zone can help guide you through a wealth of information to match your skills and interests to a career that will suit you. Our staff work with regional, national and international employers to develop new work placement, project and graduate opportunities.
