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.

No information available.
The Year 3 module will build upon the previous Careers and Employability provision from Years 1 and 2. Students will (1) reflect upon the current state of their career action plan and develop a strategy to carry them through Year 3 and into employment/postgraduate study, (2) revise the job-hunting and application strategies introduced in Year 2, and (3) be given advice about and practice interview technique.
Assessment will be based upon a combination of attendance and coursework.
