Resources for psychology graduates
Designed specifically to assist you along whatever career path you choose.
When you graduate from Psychology you will become part of the University’s global community of over 300,000 alumni.
As a former student you will be able to take advantage of a range of benefits, services and events.
Wherever you are in the world we would love you to stay in touch with us, and with your fellow alumni from Psychology and across the University.
The University holds an alumni reunion event every year. This is your opportunity to come back to Southampton, take a trip down memory lane with your friends and experience first-hand everything that makes the University what it is today. We would be delighted to see our Psychology alumni and hear your stories.
Connect with our Southampton Psychology LinkedIn page to remain engaged with our community and stay informed about our latest news, opportunities, and achievements.
Are you an international alumnus or soon‑to‑be graduate?
You may be interested in joining our growing University of Southampton International Talent Community on LinkedIn , where you can connect with fellow graduates worldwide, discover global opportunities, and stay engaged with our international network.
Please note that you will be prompted to log in to your LinkedIn account or to sign up if you don't already have one.
Our Psychology alumni play an invaluable role in supporting current students as they prepare for life after university. Many students are actively seeking mentors who can offer insights into the career paths available with a Psychology degree, relevant organisations, and effective approaches to applying for roles. If you are able to share your experience, we would be delighted to hear from you.
We also host annual careers panel events that introduce students to a wide range of psychology‑related professions. If you would be willing to speak at one of these sessions and share your own career journey, your contribution would be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in mentoring or taking part in a careers event, please contact: psyc-studentoffice@soton.ac.uk
As a graduate of our Psychology programmes, you will know first‑hand the strong academic foundation and versatile skill set that our students bring. Their analytical thinking, communication skills, understanding of human behaviour, and commitment to evidence‑based practice make them valuable contributors across a wide range of sectors both within and beyond psychology.
If you are now in a position as an employee or employer to offer work‑related opportunities – such as internships, part‑time roles, shadowing, or placements, whether paid or unpaid – we would be very pleased to hear from you. Our students are eager to gain hands‑on experience, and hosting a student can bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and meaningful support to you and your team.
If you are interested in offering an opportunity or would like to discuss what this could look like, please contact our Careers, Employability and Student Enterprise Service: employ@southampton.ac.uk
