This degree offers an excellent opportunity to increase both your academic skills and your employability. Your second and third years allow you to select optional modules which suit your career aspirations. For example, if you are interested in a career in mental health support you could choose the Issues in Mental Health and Perspectives on Disability modules. An interest in psychology could lead you to choose the module in Psychological Processes, whereas an interest in working with young people and criminal justice could see you choosing the Working with Young People and the Youth Justice modules.
