Becky Oldroyd - BSc Psychology (graduated 2018)

Now PhD student at Queen Mary

Becky Oldroyd

Studying as an undergraduate student at Queen Mary was one of the greatest experiences of my life – so much so that I decided to stay here to complete my PhD! As an undergraduate, I studied BSc Psychology. The course at Queen Mary was unlike any other top university course, as it had a strong biological and statistical component which prepared me for transferring straight from an undergraduate to a PhD programme. As an undergraduate, there were multiple opportunities to volunteer and get involved outside of your course, from things such as being a wellbeing mentor to A Level students, to being a research assistant working alongside PhD students, to the QInsight Civil Service course, which led to us going to Number 10 Downing Street to have a Q&A session with the head of the Civil Service! It was thanks to this wealth of opportunities and world-class education that I graduated from Queen Mary as a more confident and well rounded version of myself. For that, I will always be grateful and proud to be a Queen Mary alumnus.
