The range of modules on the Psychology BSc course allow you to explore a variety of different areas and the directions they may lead you on. I’ve particularly enjoyed the qualitative aspect of research skills and psychology of the early years modules.

Modules and module assignments always have the scope to be modern and fun. I was proud to have achieved a first in one of my group presentations for social psychology in semester one, in which we chose to present on the closing arguments of the Depp Vs. Heard trial. We looked into how communication was used effectively to help Depp win the case, which was a really fun and interesting piece of coursework.

I’m really looking forward to going on a placement year, to gain insight into Psychology in the working world. I know this experience will massively help me in realising exactly what it is that I’d like to do in the future. I’m hoping to secure a role helping individuals with mental illness.

Multiple aspects of the course such as group coursework, literature reviews, and lab report writing are all helping to build up essential skillsets, like working in a team and having to write client summaries, for when I work as a psychologist.

The facilities here at Loughborough are amazing and there are so many study spaces. Luckily the lectures usually take place in the same building which is really helpful on such a big campus!
