Career

Future careers

Graduating on this BPS-accredited course enables you to gain entry requirements to further education and professional training in Psychology. We offer a range of BPS-accredited MSc courses (eg Forensic Psychology) which would be the first step towards achieving professional training in Psychology.

Graduates are involved in a range of roles related to law, order, crime and crime prevention. This includes the development and implementation of treatment programmes, modifying offender behaviour and improving the psychological wellbeing of prisoners and prison staff. They often provide the research evidence to support practice, conduct prisoner profiling and give evidence in court or at parole boards and mental health tribunals.

Our graduates are valued more broadly, and others utilise the skills that our degree encourages to take graduate-level positions in a range of organisations, including the Police, Prison Service, NHS, social and community services, health authorities and in the pharmaceutical industry, and in education and training.

If you are interested in immediately entering employment after graduating, a year-long placement or placement module can be used to enhance your graduate prospects.
