    Bachelor of Psychology

    Studying Psychology at UNSW over the past 4 years has been a highly rewarding experience. Initially I chose psychology because I was interested in understanding the “whys” that underlie human behaviour. Throughout my degree not only have I been able to learn much about the psychological, social and biological underpinnings of behaviour, but I have also gained hands on experience in research discovering some of these “whys” for myself.

    Major in Psychology

    I chose UNSW because it is a well-recognised university and a university consistently rated with high quality teaching.  I appreciated UNSW’s forward thinking, demonstrated by the numerous construction projects for new buildings. With a significant proportion of international students, UNSW also provides an opportunity to build friendships with people from a variety of backgrounds. To this day, I still remember the phenomenal atmosphere I experienced when I first visited UNSW on Info Day.

    Bachelor of Psychology (Honours)

    Since a young age, my aspirations have always been geared towards a profession that involved communicating with and helping others. My later decision to undertake studies within psychology and potentially help the psychological needs of my community further came with an important decision, which institution would provide the best prospect for my tertiary education?
