None. The competition is harsh for all the psychological jobs.

A lot - you can become a therapist or a counsellor or many other things. Check out
https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/psychological-therapies/roles-psychological-therapies to see the list of jobs you can do with the NHS.

If you haven't done so already, I'd go to your university's career service for guidance, getting into the psychological jobs is very confusing!

Hello @bingbangdiggery,

That’s great to hear you are looking at jobs in psychology!

After an undergraduate course, it may be possible to get a job as an assistant psychologist within the NHS, however this is very competitive. A lot of other jobs in psychology require further training or education. You could also go into a job which is not directly related to psychology, such as an HR or marketing position.

This website may be useful.

Hope this helped and let me know if you have any more questions!
