Abstract

Growing numbers of students are taking psychology at A level or equivalent, and at university in the UK. At the same time, there has been a persistent political discourse about the lack of value of psychology as a subject (for example, in the Augar Report), partly based on employability metrics from universities. Julie will share with us why psychology is one of the most valuable subjects that students can learn, because it enables them to meet their personal, professional, and community goals through a concept known as psychological literacy.  Equip yourself with answers for questioning students, sceptical parents, and any politicians you happen to bump into - and find out more about the competences that you and your students can put to use to make a difference in the world around you.
