Course Overview

We have an extensive program of lectures and talks from invited speakers. Chartered psychologists from a broad range of areas (occupational, clinical, forensic, and counseling) give insights into how they achieved their career paths and what the subject can involve.

Our annual careers event in the summer term, 'Intentions after Graduation', is designed to help you focus on potential careers and the ways into them. Our careers activity is based on feedback from current students – our focus is on your priorities.

We also have a departmental Careers Tutor who organizes regular employability events and will provide you with individual advice relating to your career plans.
