Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Psychology] From Griffith University

The Bachelor of Psychology Honours program is rigorous and relevant to the mental health industry. The school offers students with plenty industrial exposure in the form of workshops and opportunities to become registered mental healthcare workers. The lectures make use of tutors to help students consolidate their learning and help with assignments. We also have Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) where previous successfull students help current student learn the material. We have opportunities to conduct our own research in the form of assignments and are even given opportunities to become research assistants or tutors with the university - the only requirements are a current background and police check, high GPA (above 6/7) and working with childrens check. The course helps studenrs evaluate and understand tests that measure intellectual, behavioural, and emotional states, and to apply psychological theories to areas such as thinking and perception, stress, health, criminal activity and group behaviour.

I chose the Bachelor of Psychology (Hons.) Program at Griffith University as the cost of the course for international students is more affordable when compared to other universities in Australia. The course is highly regarded in the country as one of the best schools to offer APAC registered psychology courses. The university has plenty support systems such as international student advisors and griffith mates which helps nee students integrate into the community and get to know other new students and the country. These support systems aided in my decision making process of chosing a university.
