For most of these professional psychology careers you will need to do a postgraduate degree. Entry into these programmes requires that your degree is recognised by the British Psychological Society. Our degrees have this recognition.
However, our graduates have also entered into a wide range of careers outside of psychology including:
• Nursing • Teaching • Human Resources • Management
• Marketing • Sales and Advertising • Civil Service.
