This course exposes you to the widest possible coverage of the field of psychology and offers a considerable choice of topics for study. There is also the opportunity to gain additional research experience in the final year, either with a UCL research group or in an applied (workplace) setting. It is accredited by the British Psychological Society. The Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPCs) are intensive one-year foundation courses for international students of high academic potential who are aiming to gain access to undergraduate degree programmes at UCL and other top UK universities. The Applied Route will enable students to gain experience of applying psychological theory within a workplace setting and the challenges of carrying out research within a work environment. Graduates are eligible to become members of the BPS, the starting point for a career in psychology. In addition to subject-based skills and knowledge, Psychology graduates also acquire a number of transferable skills e.g. numeracy, IT literacy, data management, time management, independent research, team working, report writing, presentation skills, communications and literacy skills and work ethically and professionally with people - all highly valued in a range of employment fields. While many UCL Psychology graduates have gone on to become professional psychologists in the National Health Service, in education, the civil service and industry, it is important to bear in mind that psychology provides a very useful basis for a wide range of other careers.
