Psychology students have access to the University’s industry-standard facilities, including experimental cubicles, specialist psychophysiological recording equipment and eye-tracking facilities. **What does this course lead to?** Recent graduates have gone on to postgraduate study and a range of roles, including mental health support worker; psychological wellbeing practitioner; assistant psychologist; therapeutic practitioner; research assistant; learning support worker; probation service officer; social work; and NHS information analyst. **Who is this course for?** This course is ideally suited to those who wish to pursue a career in clinical or counselling psychology, mental health support or psychological wellbeing.
