What even is there to do with a psychology degree?

An accredited Biomed degree can lead to a job directly within the field, but as with psychology, there are simply too many graduates per year for this path to be an 'automatic' one (like Med, Teaching, Vet Med etc). So, the vast majority of biomed grads will have to get work experience and look for other generalist careers.

question what are some famous psychology graduates preferably British?

Also is it possible to do psychology and become in journalism/a freelance writer (out of interest...)

Yes to the second Q.

is this from personal experience or just because the skills gained in a psychology degree are transferable? would I need work experience in the journalism industry to match other candidates to break in the industry.I think I want to be nearly every creative job in the world i swear...i just dont want to spend the time in a office destroying myself...#bigdreams

Hi, can I ask, did you go straight into a masters after you graduated? I need to take a year out to save money, and to be honest I've only just realised that I do actually want to do a masters.... Do you think a year out will effect my chances?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what did you graduate with?

Ran a linkedin search.

Get some experience blogging/writing up pieces, make contacts in the industry and try to get work experience (which is tough because most outlets don't pay). Most people don't go into tbe field of their degree and most enployers don't require a specific degree. The world is your oyster for a career outwith the obvious exceptions - architect, engineer etc.

What even is there to do with a computer science degree?

Srs?

huh?

There's loads of routes available with a CS degree! From technical, to quasi-technical, to finance, to general business, to research - all depends on your interests.

How could I go with finance ?

Quant trading at a proprietary trading firm, quant hedge funds, sales&trading/structuring at an investment bank, investment banking (especially covering tech companies), equity research (again, covering tech companies), quant research, asset management etc..

Most of the IBs recruit via the internship --(convert)--> grad job offer schedule, but I think you'd be alright applying for prop shops/asset management firms in final year, not so much with the i-banks..

Could also just apply to normal finance grad schemes, i.e. the support function in large companies.

Basically, most finance schemes are pretty open to whichever degree you do (granted competition is fierce so you do need to have a lot of interest in the area) and some (i.e. prop shops, derivatives trading desks at banks) will value your CS knowledge very highly.

Worth a shot if you have genuine interest - given the number of firms out there you'll have some success if you prepare thoroughly for the application process which can be immensely difficult (especially at the prop shops where they will GRILL you on mental maths + probability).
