Considering a career in Psychiatry, I jumped at the opportunity to do the BSc Intercalated Psychology degree. I would highly encourage anyone to take the leap - I gained so much from my year, not only in new skills and knowledge, but also in life experience and expanded ways of thinking. Zarah Fleming
