    Course Summary

    Leeds Trinity University’s BSc program in Psychology is a great first step towards a career practicing as a Chartered Psychologist, but also opens up a wide range of careers in fields as diverse as advertising, education, industrial design, journalism and more besides. There are more ways to make a positive impact on society using a deep knowledge of Psychology than could possibly be listed here.

    You’ll study psychology with a uniquely international perspective, learning the different ways the discipline is approached and used I different countries and cultures, as well as the ways psychological research must adapt to the needs, habits and foibles of different populations all over the globe.

    As with most Leeds Trinity courses, this BSc program is recognised by the prevailing professional body – in this case The BPS (British Psychological Society). You’ll qualify for Graduate Basis Chartered Membership when you graduate. Professional practice is only a training stage away.

Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
