This course is all about learning from, and initiating positive change with, vulnerable and marginalised people and groups. The focus is not just on the individuals themselves, but on how factors in society have an impact on lives. If you want to be out there in the real world, learning and researching and making a difference, this is the course for you. You’ll practise what you are learning through partnerships or voluntary schemes within local community groups or the NHS. You’ll widen your experience and learn new skills, such as evidence-based evaluations, report writing and making recommendations for practice. The course is highly interactive, with regular guest speakers from the local community, including mental health service users. Future career: We’ve designed this degree to give you a competitive edge when it comes to gaining a place on a postgraduate course. If you decide to go straight into work, the experience you’ll have gained from placements in clinical and community settings will maximise your job prospects too. Your degree could be your first step towards becoming a clinical psychologist. It may also lead directly to other graduate employment opportunities within the NHS, public sector or charitable and voluntary sector organisations.
