Not only do psychology graduate schemes provide an excellent level of support as you kick start your career, but they also offer structured growth with great earning potential. Our MSc Psychology course doesn’t just open doors to NHS training schemes either, and there are many career options you can take. Here are some graduate programmes that may interest you:

HR graduate schemes

Many of our psychology graduates move onto a career in HR or recruitment, using psychology theory and psychological research as a platform for understanding people and improving team management.

The changes in industry call for highly-skilled HR managers, making psychology-trained HR specialists in demand, now and in the future. From on-boarding talent and attracting remote workers, a lot is evolving in this space.

Marketing graduate schemes

Another alternative career route is marketing, with graduate schemes taking on only the most qualified candidates. Psychology training hugely benefits the world of media and advertising.
