Hi! I\u2019m Lauren, a 3rd-Year BSc Psychology student. Since my A levels, I’ve wanted to be a forensic psychologist working in prisons, or for the police as a criminal profiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a 3rd-Year, my schedule is pretty packed with study and work experience. So, here are some tips for students aiming to go into forensic psychology, across a whole week. It took a long time for me to get a regular university schedule (especially because of Covid-19!), so I hope this helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday November 22nd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Happy Monday! Today I don\u2019t have any university seminars, but am currently in the process of writing my literature review. I chose dissociative identity disorder as my topic, as it\u2019s so important to choose something interesting to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my day with independent study, editing the first draft of my review. For writing any essay, I would highly recommend making tables for all your sources, splitting up the sections of the papers and creating a column for your own analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also went to work today for my first shift of the week. Being a Personal Assistant\/Carer has been an amazing way to get experience relevant to my career aspirations. Especially convenient is using part-time paid work as work experience, so it\u2019s the best of both worlds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday November 23rd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today was my most \u2018forensic-y\u2019 day, as I had my Applications of Forensic Psychology<\/a> module. For those interested in criminology\/mental-health psychology, I would highly recommend applying for this module in 2nd Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 12-2pm I attended my seminar, and from 4-4.30pm I had a meeting with my dissertation supervisor. Psychology is especially talented at reaching out and checking on students’ wellbeing\/progress. Particularly 3rd-Years, who have large amounts of study time away from campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Psychology<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday was also a day to let my hair down at the Psychology Society Christmas formal. It\u2019s so important to have downtime aside from university, and the Psychology Society is one of the best places to make friends with people with the same interests as you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday November 24th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"independent<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday is another independent study day. What I learnt from Covid-19 was switching up study positions as much as possible will keep you from getting cabin fever! Whether that be studying in your kitchen instead of your bedroom, or heading into town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal preference if I have a full free day is to go into York city centre and find a caf\u00e9 to study in for a few hours. Today I chose Starbucks (highly recommend the gingerbread latte while they\u2019re still around!), but also recommend places like Cocoa Joe’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also essential to get some fresh air if you\u2019ve got a busy day of work, otherwise your head will be prime to explode. Whether it be a walk into town to study, or a walk down the road, stretch your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday November 25th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today was every student\u2019s nightmare: a 9am seminar. From 9-11am today, I attended my Neurobiology of Depression<\/a> session, another amazing module you can apply for in 2nd-Year. Choosing modules relevant to what career you aim to do is a great way to get a taster of what to expect. If you haven\u2019t decided what career you want by the time it comes to module applications, don\u2019t worry! Just pick something you think sounds interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had my second shift of the week today. For anyone aspiring for a job in the psychology sphere, mental-health care is an amazing bit of hands-on experience away from a lecture theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I had such a busy day, I only did a bit of light work when I arrived home in the afternoon. With a heavy workload, it\u2019s so important to give yourself time to breathe. Tonight, I chose to treat myself to one of my favourite meals. Overall, a nice end to my most packed day of the week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday November 26th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Friday is yet another independent study day. Now that all my seminars have finished for the week, I use Fridays to start my reading for next week. I like to give myself as much of the weekend off as possible to recharge for the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Fridays, Psychology staff sends out weekly emails to keep students in the loop about upcoming deadlines and opportunities. It\u2019s a really useful way to find volunteering opportunities, as well as keeping on top of upcoming assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I did as much reading as possible before my third shift of the week. Friday tends to be my busiest shift, so I like to unwind afterwards ready for the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading! I hope this was a nice insight into a typical week of a 3rd-Year wanting to go into forensic psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my blog I hope to inform prospective students hoping to go into Forensic Psychology\/other relevant disciplines what to expect in a typical week: with a few social activities mixed in! I also hope to shed some light on the amazing support from the psychology department and all the targeted help they give.<\/p>\n

My favourite thing about university is the constant opportunities of independence to build your confidence. You choose what course you want to do, which modules you take, and where to take your knowledge. Psychology at York University really helps you take hold of where you want your future to
