This indicates that students have met the curriculum requirements derived from the Quality Assurance Agency’s (2019) subject benchmark statement for Psychology and is often an important prerequisite for students wishing to go on to further postgraduate study or training in psychology.
Over the years, many of our students have progressed onto BPS stage II postgraduate training programmes (popular routes being Masters programmes in Clinical Psychology, Occupational Psychology and Health Psychology), as well as our own MSc in Applied Psychology, offered at UWTSD.
For those not wishing to pursue a career in psychology, graduates have long been recognised as being of value to a range of organisations beyond Psychology such as HR, Advertising, Media, Research & Development, and Health and Social Care.
