Alumni Profile
Karen Berry - BEng (Hons) Psychology and Counselling
Studying Psychology and Counselling at Salford has been so rewarding because I got so much more than just the fantastic academic course content – I had the opportunity to deliver psychology sessions and share my learning with local school children through Salford Young People's University (SYPU), I got the opportunity to meet and present to prospective students while being a Student Ambassador (great fun too) and even worked on campus for the BBC facilitating sessions for local school kids – just a few examples of the many great opportunities available to up-skill and gain more additional experience.
