Master of Psychology (Clinical)
A remote placement in Mount Isa was the highlight of my studies. It gave me opportunities to extend my learning and led to employment in the region for several years. The best part of the course was working with students and lecturers who formed an important professional network, with many becoming lifelong friends.
