Careers and Employability
Kent equips you with essential skills to give you a competitive advantage when it comes to getting a job.
Our graduates currently have excellent graduate employment prospects, working in clinical, forensic and occupational psychology or in allied fields related to therapy, teaching, or social work. Many work in communication-focused roles in marketing, public relations and publishing.
If you choose an undergraduate programme with a placement year you can spend a year working with professional psychologists in, for example, the NHS, the Prison Service or another government agency or in a business setting and gain experience that will enhance your employability.
Additionally, our experience schemes allow students to either gain practical experience of ongoing research projects or to gain an insight into the workplace and the local community.
