This module will be one of three "Careers and Employability" modules that will run across years 1, 2, and 3. The aim of these modules is to improve the employability of Psychology students. The modules will provide students with opportunities to reflect and decide upon their career aspirations, help them identify the steps required to reach those goals, and introduce them to opportunities and resources that will help them to complete these steps.

The Year 2 module will comprise a series of timetabled sessions (lectures and workshops) run and administered collaboratively by staff from the Department of Psychology and the Employability and Careers Centre, with input from the Faculty Employability Co-ordinator and speakers from outside the University, as well as activities that students complete in their own time.
The Year 2 module will build upon the previous Careers and Employability provision from Year 1. Students will (1) reflect upon and update their career action plan, (2) learn about a range of jobs and postgraduate opportunities open to them, both within the psychology professions and in other areas, and (3) learn how to research jobs/courses that interest them and to mount effective applications using appropriate resources.
Assessment will be based upon a combination of attendance and coursework
