Only around 20% of graduates actually go on to seek a career as a professional Psychologist, leaving the majority to go into more general employment after their degree. If a psychology-related career is not for you then there are plenty of other options available to you. As a Psychology degree is so diverse, it provides graduates with a range of transferable skills which employers will value!
The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey indicates that our graduates are involved in a wide range of exciting career paths and employment opportunities.

Do I need work experience?
It is always a good idea to get as much work experience during your studies as possible as this will make you stand out to an employer.
