What our students say

2nd London university for student satisfaction - National Student Survey 26*

I really enjoy studying at UWL, because it's a great environment to work in, and the lecturers really know what they are talking about. They each have specialised subjects within Psychology, and you can tell how passionate they are. This makes their teaching more engaging. Also, I'm really looking forward to doing practical work with the uni's advanced equipment.

Your future career

A psychology degree will prepare you for jobs and roles in many sectors, not just within the field of psychology.

If you are aiming for a career as a professional psychologist, it is important to be aware that the title "psychologist" itself is not legally protected, but seven specific titles are protected by law under the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). These are: Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist, Educational Psychologist, Forensic Psychologist, Health Psychologist, Occupational Psychologist, and Sport and Exercise Psychologist.

To use any of these titles, you must complete a BPS-accredited undergraduate degree (or conversion course), followed by further HCPC-approved postgraduate training and registration with the HCPC.

For many careers, including the seven protected psychologist titles, further study is also needed, where you can specialise in an area of interest or explore something new. We offer some of these, so take a look at our postgraduate courses.

Once you complete this course, you may be eligible for Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS), which includes the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). GBC is the first step toward continuing with BPS-accredited postgraduate training and becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
