Why is international experience so critical
for Psychology and Social Science students? As a student pursuing a career in Psychology or Social Work, you are passionate about people, intrigued with what makes people "tick" and understanding the various aspects and influences of culture. Furthermore, you desire to connect with and help people.
Your work is important, and will demand skills for inter-cultural and cross-communication, the to ability to understand and relate with a diverse population of people.
Studying abroad is one of the very best ways you can prepare yourself for your future and give yourself a leg up to enter whichever field you pursue. More than any time in the past, it is critical that students entering such a people-focused field possess a global viewpoint, international experience and understanding of other cultures.
Whether you choose a semester or year abroad, undertake an internship, pursue a graduate degree or even take a summer short course, you’ll not only give yourself a significant advantage career-wise, but you will also have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s never more in reach than during your college years. | | | | Types of Courses Offered | Types of Courses Offered | The University recognizes that Study Abroad students want to experience as much of the lifestyle, culture and environment of Australia as possible during their time at the University.
