This MSc will enable you to embark on a variety of careers in psychology, so the programme is suitable for recent graduates and those wishing to pursue a career change.
 

The course is also ideal for teachers in pre-tertiary education who are currently teaching psychology A-level without a formal academic qualification in the subject.
 

Graduates go on to seek employment in a number of destinations, such as human health, education, scientific research, social work, human resources, market research, or in the public sector for the Civil Service, NHS or local government.
 

You could choose to continue your studies down the Chartered Psychologist route and pursue a career in Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology, Forensic Psychology or Sports and Exercise Psychology.
 

Many Psychology students will choose from career options without ‘psychologist’ in the title so our programme is designed to inspire and facilitate the development of lots of important transferable skills that will enhance your employability, whatever path you choose to take.
