​I absolutely loved my time at Â鶹´«Ã½ and feel I have been able to take away so much from the past four years. I have just got a job working at a specialised clinic for patients suffering from eating disorders. However my long term plans are to gain enough relevant experience to enable me to study for a clinical psychology doctorate and eventually become a clinical psychologist.
The thing that appealed to me most about the Â鶹´«Ã½ degree course was that it offered some amazing opportunities in addition to the general course outline, for example, the chance to study a year overseas or to have a year in industry.
One of the main highlights was receiving the news that I had got my ideal job for my placement year as I had worked really hard on my application and preparing for the interview.
I spent a year with the child and adolescent mental health services in Â鶹´«Ã½ working as an assistant psychologist. Although at times it was challenging I thoroughly enjoyed the year and gained so much invaluable experience. It also confirmed my passion to become a clinical psychologist.
Another highlight would be getting the opportunity to carry out my dissertation on a topic I had chosen and enjoyed. Being given the responsibility of carrying out a research project which included the collection, analysis, and production of a psychological report felt like a great achievement.
Â鶹´«Ã½ itself I loved. As the city is so close to the sea and beaches it felt like I was on holiday a lot of the time when I needed a break from studying. I also loved the fact that everything is within a short walking distance which gives you a real sense of a student community.
The course has enabled me to gain so many skills and knowledge to allow me to apply it to future job roles.
I have also met some amazing people along the way and gained some brilliant life experiences. I would not change anything about my time at the Â鶹´«Ã½ and I would encourage anyone to study there.
