Griffith offers a range of degrees in Psychology.
We have the Bachelor of Counselling, the Bachelor
of Psychology with Honours and we also have
the Bachelor of Psychological Science, and
with that degree you can study a range of
double degrees including Law, Exercise Science,
Criminology and Criminal Justice as well as
Business and Commerce.
We have a range of flexible study options
with our Psychology and Counselling degrees.
This flexibility ranges from how students
will study on campus, through face-to-face
classes but they can also study online.
So we have a good mix of blended learning
approaches with our degrees.
We are actually the only school of Applied
Psychology in Australia and I think that really
sets us apart from other universities because
we have a strong emphasis on the applied skills,
and that really makes our graduates work ready
when they enter the workforce.
My goal for studying Psychology is probably
to incorporate it initially into my business
so I can have a counselling type service that
becomes an integral part of what I provide.
The best thing about my degree is the knowledge
that I get daily that I can apply straight
away.
So I find that I can walk directly out of
a lecture or tutorial and the information
that I'm getting and the stuff that I’m
learning is directly relevant.
My advice to mature students would be don’t
be scared, dive in, get involved and enjoy
the experience.
I think we’re living in a world where you
are embraced.
The first days and weeks as a student were
exciting, a little bit nervous, a lot of information!
But in having said that, it wasn’t something
that was a bad thing it was something that
forced me to thrive and dig deep and find
out that there was lots of stuff that I could
do that I probably didn’t think that I could.
