We offer students the opportunity to undertake a work placement for one year during their degree (between levels two and three). students then transfer onto the four year mpsyc advanced psychology industry variant of this programme which offers an exciting opportunity for them to gain experience of working life as part of their degree. this will further enhance the employability prospects of our graduates. this course allows students to take advantage of the available work experience opportunities offered and it is administered between the school and by the careers service. application for a work placement year is made once students are on the mpsyc advanced psychology programme and have successfully completed level one. level two students, who intend to take their third year as a work placement year can take the cser8000 work placement module (120 credits) in order to complete an undergraduate level work placement, building experience of, and confidence in, essential work place skills. this effectively extends the four year degree course to a five year course; consequently the title of the degree is altered to mpsyc advanced psychology (industry). there are two assignments to pass the module: a work placement year report with an interview and a presentation.
