Student profile: Julie, Bachelor of Psychological Science, Berwick campus“During my time at Federation University, I’ve felt a sense of belonging since day one. Staff and students have been extremely friendly and helpful, greatly contributing to my studies and overall university experience. Both staff and students have encouraged me with my studies - the support has been phenomenal. Over the years, I have learned a real appreciation of the importance of psychology in lifespan development. Raising children is an incredibly complex experience and it is my passion to help parents, stakeholders and the community. Working in this area has helped me realise the gift of life. After completing my fourth year, I aim to study a masters and/or PhD next year and move on to an area of endorsement in educational and developmental psychology, focussing on research and potentially public policy in this area.”
