ABSTRACT
Having completed an undergraduate degree in psychology, the next step is to decide what to do afterwards. Some psychology students go on to do further training in psychology or a related area. Some go on to carry out psychological research, whereas others will do other things (e.g., teach on psychology courses, apply psychology to “real-world” problems). However, many students use their graduate status to obtain jobs in fields far removed from the formal topics covered on their psychology courses. For example, one student might apply for a job in personnel work, another might apply for a managerial role, whilst another still might enter onto a conversion course and completely change their focus (conversion courses to other fields such as law are not uncommon). In addition, a number of graduates decide to work or engage in further study abroad.
