From Psychology Graduate to Educational Psychologist, and all that's in-between!

Speaker: Dr Melanie Adkins

We’re delighted to continue our OUPS Webinar Series with a session exploring the journey into Educational Psychology and what the role truly looks like in practice. Whether you’re considering Educational Psychology as a future career or simply curious about how psychologists work within education, this talk will offer an engaging and realistic introduction.

Our speaker, Dr Melanie Adkins, will share insights from her work as a Local Authority Educational Psychologist, as well as her experience supporting those who aspire to enter the profession.

This talk will consider the varied paths to training as an Educational Psychologist, including Melanie’s own journey and the critical role the Open University Psychology programme and OUPS played in shaping it.
