The BSc Psychology course will provide you with an unbeatable combination of personal, professional and academic opportunities in a vibrant and supportive setting. As one of the first universities to offer work experience as part of the degree, we have established links with many employers and our programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Our graduates are well-placed to train as practising psychologists and therapists. Equally, they are highly valued in any sector that involves people or that requires their key transferable skills such as critical thinking, analysis and communication. Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour, mental health and neuropsychological functioning. It seeks to understand what makes us who we are, how our minds work, and what influences our behaviour and social relationships. As well as learning about core areas of psychology, research methods and statistics, you can tailor your degree by pursuing an optional Professional Training placement in an organisation of your interest and by choosing your final-year modules and dissertation research topic. Many organisations employ psychology graduates for their specific psychological training and skills in areas such as personnel, research and development, survey and market research, and career guidance. In addition, many employers are keen to recruit psychology graduates because the broad curriculum produces a well-rounded individual who communicates well and has analytical skills. Recent graduates have also embarked on careers in law, accountancy, teaching, computer programming and general management. Virtually all graduates of the programme find satisfactory employment within six months of graduation. Graduates over the last few years entered employment roles such as: Assistant Clinical Psychologist, St George's NHS Trust; Primary Wellbeing Practitioner, Broadmoor Hospital; Trial Coordinator, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Clinical Trust; Assistant Psychologist, Great Ormond Street Hospital; Rehabilitation Assistant, Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability; Account Manager, Genesis Medical; Recruitment Researcher, Walker Hamill; Marketing Analyst, Masterclassing and Junior Market Research Project Manager, Kantar Health.
