Psychology4Students: For students considering Psychology at University

The British Psychological Society: Psychology4Students 2014

Our Psychology4Students series gives A-level, Pre-tertiary and 1st year undergraduate students a glimpse into the exciting world of Psychology.

The event will consist of five keynote presentations by established UK Psychologists. Our aim is that the talks will give you a broad view of the many areas of Psychology; some will relate to the A level curriculum, whilst others are designed to widen your perspective on where a psychology degree could take you.

During the event there will be a 90 minute break to give you the chance to explore the exhibition zone which will include interactive demonstrations, book stalls, careers advice and much more.
