Training in psychology develops a wide range of skills in students, including literature review, data collection (e.g., interviewing and administration of quantitative surveys), designing experiments, and analyzing statistical data. At the same time, the study of psychology provides students with a deep understanding of human behavior and motivations, and skills in effective communication. These qualities ensure that psychology students do well at any workplace.  

Many employers are in search of the skills Psychology students gain during their training. Psychology students can thus find relevant opportunities across various industries, such as the health, education, marketing, communications, and policy and public sectors.
