You can also suggest other organisations you're interested in, as long as a partnership agreement can be set up.
If you've got previous professional experience in psychology, your placement might be recognised, subject to assessment by the relevant department. Our guidance team will help you find the option that best suits your goals, facilitating your first professional exposure to the sector.
Psychology Modules: Final Degree Project
