We’re all interested in what makes people tick, how they think, act and interact with others.
That’s why studying undergraduate Psychology – the science of human behaviour – is
interesting in its own right.
Studying a degree in Psychology will enable you to develop a wide range of sought after
transferable skills. The knowledge and skills gained allows you to take advantage of a
variety of job opportunities in areas such as education, human resources, commercial
industry, management, advertising and marketing, research, the health professions,
counselling and social services. (Some of these require further professional and/or
specialised training). Here are some case studies from OU Psychology graduates which
demonstrates the value of OU study, both in enabling a career change and the opportunity to
become a professional psychologist.
