Discover Psychology

This Discover Day will give you a taste of life as a psychology student at The University of Manchester.

You’ll experience a selection of mini-lectures and seminars, which are typical of the learning and learning environment they would experience during a psychology degree.
Psychology is a very diverse discipline so we’ll show students some psychology careers and the different routes to these careers. You’ll also get the opportunity to speak to a number of psychology staff and students.
