Final year students at London Metropolitan University will work with your organization to complete projects related to their studies in Psychology, and can range from clinical research to applied psychology in a variety of workplaces. Students in this program are looking for projects that should increase their understanding of psychology in a work context. Because psychology graduates go into many different areas, it is very flexible.The career development learning and work based learning programs involve pairing an undergraduate placement student with a host organisation, under the supervision of a mentor from that organisation.
Students will select their final choices for which company to work with, and will submit an application. You will be able to accept or decline the student's application to work with you. Please note that matching does not guarantee that a student will work with your company, and final selections will be made starting in January of 2024.
Students will complete a project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the placement, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Each student will complete a minimum of 50 hours of Placement time between January - April 2024, and each student will have a specific focus.
Students have a thorough understanding of the core areas in psychology (biological, cognitive, developmental, social, individual differences, and research methods).
