Student Profile(s)
Sarah Proud
"I completed my undergraduate degree (BSc Psychology with Sociology) at NTU and knew the school had a great reputation and amazing staff so I wanted to continue my studies there. I enjoyed completing my research project during my undergraduate degree which is why I chose to study Psychological Research Methods at Masters level. In particular I enjoyed the modules on Advanced Experimentation and Statistics 1 and 2, and Structural Equation Modelling.
"What attracted me to the course was the opportunity to undertake my own research whilst attending taught modules. I knew I wanted to work in Psychology but was unsure of which field; Psychological Research Methods offered a variety and range. The taught modules were over the full week rather than 2 extremely busy days.
"As my course covered at least 20% statistics modules I was able to apply for my current job at the Office for National Statistics. It is encouraged to move roles in the future and I hope to move into surveys and methodology in order to utilise other modules from my masters such as Psychometrics and Structural Equation Modelling.
"The knowledge I gained in regards to psychological research methods are transferable to the work I currently complete. I feel confident writing and presenting methods papers which are similar to the research projects at university. I was prepared for the level of work expected from having previously completed a masters.
"My plan for the future is to continue working at the ONS possibly moving into social research and methodology but I am currently enjoying the challenge of being in National Accounts."
