Chelsea Muscat Studying Bachelor of Psychology I chose to study Psychology because I want to be a professional who makes a difference for individuals and for the community at large. Studying Psychology changes the way I see the world. Psychology is also a relatively new field of study, which means there are many exciting areas of research that are yet to be explored. It is also a varied field, from cognitive to social psychology, so there are many job opportunities in lots of different areas. A highlight of the course is being able to design my own experiments, participate in real-world psychological research and learn from lecturers who have held successful careers. And there are opportunities to network with psychologists and future employers while studying, who can help me find a job. | 33
