Together with a thorough understanding of the main fields of psychology, my undergraduate degree at the University of St Andrews has helped me develop my ability to offer critical appraisals of research conducted in specialist areas of psychology, to conduct a research study of my own from start to finish and to report my findings through a report that may be submitted to a journal. I obtained lab experience by working in the Social Psychology lab in St Andrews and the Forensic Psychology lab at Lund University. My responsibilities included doing research on a topic and devising a research plan, producing questionnaires, implementing the study with participants (including debriefing and informed consent), analyzing the data and writing a report. Thus, I am highly skilled in Excel, and have been using it for my research for the past 7 years.
