I made use of the University’s fantastic graduate-employer connections and extensive careers support, which helped me to secure a placement at the University of Cambridge.
During my placement I worked in an applied social sciences group making policy influencing research. The placement was invaluable in providing me with first-hand experience in a professional environment.
It also allowed me to build my confidence and develop my academic writing skills, as well as helping me to realise the possibility of working in both research and clinical psychology.
Following my placement, I have been offered a research assistant role with the department to start when I have completed my degree, as well as being made an offer of postgraduate study.
