Best bits<\/p>\n

Second year has definitely been my best year yet, and I owe a lot of it to getting more involved with things happening around the university! This year has been really fascinating since we were able to choose some of our modules. I\u2019ve also had the best time working as part of the SMaRteN student research team<\/a> where I\u2019ve learned so many cool things while meeting some of the most interesting and fun people. Another massive highlight for me has been getting involved in so many volunteering events with the Positive Peers events<\/a>, it\u2019s been so rewarding to work on the mental health outreach initiatives and I\u2019ve learned so many useful things for my future work in psychology! To top it all off, I am currently completing my internship at Maudsley Simulation<\/a> and it has been such an eye-opener in terms of applications of my degree! I\u2019ve had the most amazing time learning from such different types of professionals, as well as gaining a better understanding of work in psychology outside of academia or clinical contexts.<\/p>\n
