Coventry psych students do real world/applied research

Marked some interesting student work today:

A literature review paper by one of our MSc Health Psychology students - on aspects of self management in adolescents with diabetes (can't be more specific as she hopes to submit it to a journal for publication and I don't want to steal her thunder...!)

Reflective reports from second year undergraduates who have been on work placements:

One who has been working as a researcher in public health, looking at how breastfeeding interventions might be adapted for her home country of Botswana.

Another who has been on placement in a prison, running focus groups and working on racial and ethnic diversity issues.

A third who has been working as a research assistant to a colleague here at Coventry.

And two who have worked as junior school teaching assistants in preparation for intended careers in educational or clinical psychology.

Our students do real world/applied research, and should be well equipped to apply their knowledge and skills in the jobs market.

Apropos to nothing: Off now to buy some Gutermann thread in shade 282 on the way home...
