Clinical and Community Psychology is all about learning from, and initiating positive change with, vulnerable and marginalised people and groups. The focus is not just on the individuals themselves, but on how factors in society have an impact on lives. If you want to be out there in the real world, learning and researching and making a difference, this is the course for you. You'll practise what you are learning through partnerships or voluntary schemes within local community groups or the NHS. You'll widen your experience and learn new skills, such as evidence-based evaluations, report writing and making recommendations for practice. In at least one of your modules, you have the opportunity to undertake a professional piece of evidence-based research for a community partner - a service that the organisation would perhaps not otherwise have been able to afford.We've designed this degree to give you a competitive edge when it comes to gaining a place on a postgraduate course. If you decide to go straight into work, the experience you'll have gained from placements in clinical and community settings will maximise your job prospects too.
Your degree could be your first step towards becoming a clinical psychologist. It may also lead directly to other graduate employment opportunities within the NHS, public sector or charitable and voluntary sector organisations. The placements and extracurricular opportunities open to you on this course mean you are more likely to have a chance of taking that next step towards your goal, whatever that may be. And having a degree recognised by the British Psychological Society means an opening to careers in a wide range of other areas, such as sport and leisure, education, human resources, consumer research and advertising, and the media.
