Series Overview
Psychology remains one of the most popular choices at undergraduate level (more than 90,000 students were studying for a degree in psychology in 2011-12, compared to just over 33,000 in 1996-97), whilst there is an increasing number of postgraduate courses directed towards either further academic study in a sub-discipline or a career in applied practice. But despite the growing numbers of people interested in a career in psychology, the various pathways to entry into the profession are not necessarily obvious.
The series of proposed books is aimed at providing a clear, accessible and reader-friendly guide to the routes available to becoming a practitioner psychologist The series aims to provide both information and advice, and will include titles in each of the 7 domains of psychology practice regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council:
- Clinical Psychology
- Health Psychology
- Occupational Psychology
- Sport and Exercise Psychology
- Counselling Psychology
