I wanted to apply psychology to policy; in corporate settings, in education, in societal safety, anywhere psychology could be put to work for positive social change. This programme fits people who have such a specific career in mind, and prepares you well for it. At the same time, it’s worth being realistic about the competitive job market: finding a role that matches your interests can take time.Romanos, alumnus
