Excellent career prospects

Cambridge graduates are highly sought after by employers, due to their capacity for independent thought and rigorous scholarship.

The University's psychology teaching is accredited by the British Psychological Society. Graduates are therefore eligible for admission to professional courses in clinical, educational, forensic, applied, or academic psychology. Numerous past students of psychology at Cambridge have gone on to prominent positions in psychology and related fields throughout the world. 

Our course also equips students with skills and knowledge applicable in numerous professional sectors. Other recent graduates have entered careers in the media, management, the Civil Service, finance, law, and business.

The Careers Service maintains links with relevant employers and takes into account employer needs and opinions in the services which it provides for students. The Careers Service also allocates a Careers Adviser to each College, Faculty, and Department to act as a point of contact. Details of its services can be found on the Careers Service's website.
