Loughborough’s psychology course greatly appealed to me, because compared to other universities it was very varied. This course gives students the opportunity to learn a wider range of psychological fields, and also provided the ability to pick modules which you find most interesting.

I chose work/business psychology modules, as these especially intrigued me. This sparked my interest in how psychology can be applied to the workplace, hence my choice to undertake a Master’s in Work Psychology, also at Loughborough University.

I found most elements of the course to be useful, as it taught me to become a lot more conscientious, proactive, diligent, resilient and hardworking, all of which are relevant and transferrable for one’s future career.

The fine attention that had to be paid to data during statistical analysis taught me the importance of paying greater attention to detail. Researching for and composing academic essays was useful for demonstrating the importance of generating a balanced argument and ensuring that all relevant areas had been properly researched and considered. These qualities are very effective and important for the workplace and future careers.

The course also had a nice balance of group and independent work, developing useful teamwork and collaborative qualities, as well as providing individuals with the scope to be innovative and creative and work independently.
