What the college says

With Psychology now recognised by universities as a hard science (alongside Biology, Chemistry and Physics) it is an excellent qualification that can lead directly in to work or to a range of different courses in further and higher education. A Psychology degree is one of the most popular degrees in the UK. Psychology degrees attract those from both scientific and arts backgrounds. The mixture of applied sciences, philosophy and social science means that students can take their studies in a number of directions. Many Psychology graduates go on to become chartered Psychologists; specialising in clinical, educational, occupational, forensic, health or sports Psychology. With a Psychology qualification your career options are vast, and those who don't become trained Psychologists often go into related Psychology careers within healthcare, mental health support, education or in other people-focused roles. The scientific and research elements of the course make human resources, advertising, marketing, retail management, academia and careers such as accountancy realistic goals.
