Career opportunities
Many graduates find success in careers that aren’t psychology related, but where their training has been useful. Career opportunities include jobs within social welfare or education. But qualifications can also open doors to areas such as advertising, media and market research.
This degree is not BPS accredited. In order to pursue studies within the Psychology profession itself, such as educational, clinical, occupational or forensic psychology you must take the qualifying exams with the BPS (British Psychological Society). Please be aware, however, that 2009 is the last year in which registration for the Qualifying Examination will be accepted by the BPS. Following this you will be able to convert your degree through BPS accredited postgraduate training.
