Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Psychology careers

I am studying a psychology degree at the moment and since a-levels, I have loved the scientific side of it, the treatment of disorders and the biological side of it. I was just wondering could anyone give me any career advice on what type of job to go into eventually? I don’t mind doing a masters, I just really want to avoid doing a phd.
Thank you!

Hi there,

Hoping I can offer some helpful tips to plan your next steps. You can get into many careers with a psychology degree, as you're currently working towards this qualification, you might find it helpful to research into the prospects website. This is a graduate website which you can use to plan your steps. There is a helpful 'what can I do with my degree' section which I've included the link for below. This includes helpful links to the various careers relating this degree and also careers in which you degree can be useful in. The job profile links might help you plan if you need further qualifications and also useful external links :
