Meet our Students:
Aisha Brydon
Master
of Psychology in Clinical Psychology
I have completed all my tertiary studies at
Swinburne and this year I have chosen to continue
studying there towards a Masters Degree in Clinical
Psychology.
By studying psychology part-time I have been
able to combine the advantages of both work and
study. Classes are held at night, which has enabled
me to gain practical experience during the day,
which I hope will make me more employable once
I have completed my course.
The Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at
Swinburne University has a strong emphasis on
teaching students different theoretical approaches
to counselling, in addition to clinical assessment
skills. This ensures that I will be prepared
for all facets of work as a psychologist and
can tailor my approach, depending on the client.
The academic staff in the Faculty of Life and
Social Sciences have always been supportive of
my studies, willing to answer my questions and
discuss their areas of expertise. My lecturers
have also provided me with opportunities to gain
work experience by offering me work within the
university as a research assistant and coordinating
administrative activities for Swinburne's electronic
psychology journal, E-JAP.
Small class sizes have allowed me to quickly
get to know other students completing my courses.
Here I have been introduced to people who share
my dedication to studying psychology and I have
consolidated many friendships over a coffee on
Glenferrie Road . These relationships have often
continued in both social and workplace settings
outside of the university.
