I really enjoy psychology in high school
and I think because of that that really
is what started my interest in it and I
thought straight away that I was going
to do psychology further in university.
My favourite parts about the degree are
definitely the amount of flexibility it
allows a lot of the lectures you'll find
are both online and in-person so it
really helps if you've got a part-time
job or other commitments. So far I've
taken electives mostly within the
neuroscience domain so I've also worked
in the Ray Last labs down in the HMS
building and it really shows you how the
theories that you're learning apply to
the real body the real person. I love the
research component in honours so as part
of our degree 50% of our mark is our
thesis which is a lot of independently
structured learning because you get to
choose what sort of saw that you want to
do on what area and what design as well
I guess my favorite thing about the
whole degree was that I get to add to
the literature and help other people.
I think the degree has really helped me
prepare for the future in the way that
has helped me explore all these
different facets of psychology that I
had never considered previously. You
really get to see the way that
psychology is integrated into the world
more than you think
