The project should increase the student's understanding of psychology in a work context -- broadly defined. Because psychology graduates go into many different areas, it is very flexible. For example, we have students do befriending, organise events, create outreach materials, do literature surveys, contribute to business plans, conduct and analyse client satisfaction surveys, etc. For more information, please see our webpage here: https://www.stir.ac.uk/student-life/careers/employers/recruiting-our-students/student-projects/psychology-placements/
