“A Psychology degree at the University of Dundee is a really dynamic course as you learn such a breadth of topics. I found this really helpful due to the fact that when I started my degree I didn't know what I would do with it once I graduated, I just knew I had a passion for Psychology! However, after experiencing everything from developmental psychology to the psychology of how animals communicate with one another, I eventually landed on business psychology. I now work at Insights Learning and Development, my role as Business Psychologist revolves around looking at people's personality preferences and designing bespoke interventions to help them be more successful in their role. Another element my degree has given me is improved people skills, being involved in a mix of different societies meant that my networking and team building skills have improved.”
