Sarah Altmann
Bachelor of Psychology
"Studying Psychology at over the past 4 years has been a highly rewarding experience. Initially, I chose psychology because I was interested in understanding the “whys” that underlie human behaviour. Throughout my degree not only have I been able to learn much about the psychological, social and biological underpinnings of behaviour, but I have also gained hands on experience in research discovering some of these “whys” for myself."

Bachelor of Psychology (Honours)
"Since a young age, my aspirations have always been geared towards a profession that involved communicating with and helping others. My later decision to undertake studies within psychology and potentially help the psychological needs of my community came with an important decision; which institution would provide the best prospect for my tertiary education?"

Major in Psychology
"I chose because it's a well-recognised university and a university consistently rated with high quality teaching. I appreciated ’s forward thinking, demonstrated by the numerous construction projects for new buildings. With a significant proportion of international students, also provides an opportunity to build friendships with people from a variety of backgrounds. To this day, I still remember the phenomenal atmosphere I experienced when I first visited on Info Day."
