Psychology Unlocked: Your Journey from Degree to Career with University of Surrey & University of East Anglia
October 7 @ 16:15 - 17:15
Are you fascinated by human behaviour but unsure where a Psychology degree could take you? Join us for an intensive one-hour session designed to help 16–18-year-olds navigate the transition from school to university and beyond.
The event features two interactive talks from leading university experts from University of East Anglia and University of Surrey, offering a deep dive into the diverse branches of psychology—from clinical and forensic to occupational and neuropsychology. You’ll gain insider tips on what admissions tutors look for, crafting a standout personal statement, understanding the UCAS application process, and what life is truly like as a Psychology undergraduate.
The final part is dedicated to a live Q&A, where our panel will answer your pre-submitted and real-time questions. Please submit these HERE.
Whether you’re curious about the university experience, research placements, BPS accreditation, or specific career paths, this session provides the clarity you need to decide if Psychology is the right fit for your future.
