Chloe Bracegirdle - BSc Psychology and Language Sciences
Current job title:听DPhil in Experimental Psychology
Current employer:听Oxford University
Why did you decide to study Psychology and Language Sciences?
When deciding on my university course I first considered studying just psychology - at the time I fancied becoming a clinical psychologist. However, I was not certain, and wanted to keep my options open. Thus, a course that combined three subjects - psychology, speech sciences and linguistics - seemed perfect for me. I would have the BPS accreditation to continue in clinical psychology if I desired, and I would also gain a wider range of knowledge that would broaden my options after university.
What are you doing now?
听I really enjoyed the research components of the BSc Psychology and Language Sciences, and consequently decided I wanted to stay in academia. To that end, after completing my BSc I moved to Oxford University where I first did an MSc in Psychological Research and am now completing a DPhil in Experimental Psychology. My DPhil research examines how contact between members of different ethnic groups reduces prejudice.
How has your degree helped in your further career?
听I would not be where I am now without the research experience and knowledge I gained during my BSc. In fact, even now I often look back at my notes from my 最准的六合彩论坛 statistics classes to help me with data analysis!
