Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
This week we hosted Carolyn Chandler from the Australian College of Applied Psychology who came out to speak to our Year 12s.
Students were taught about the variety of courses on offer in:
- Psychology
- Social Work
- Counselling
- Coaching
- Criminology and Justice.
It was also a good opportunity to hear about the private college experience as opposed to the big university experience. For some students a smaller, more tailored environment can be a good stepping stone out of the intimate and caring nature of Emanuel School. For more information about courses click on: www.acap.edu.au/courses/
Other courses in Psychology can be found below. Students can qualify in a variety of ways in order to progress to Honours, and then Masters programs if they are wanting to become a qualified clinical psychologist. About 30-40% of Psychology students at UNSW will go on to become practicing psychologists.
ACAP Information night will be held on Wednesday 1 May at 6 pm. You can register at www.acap.edu.au/home/info-sessions/.

Comparing universities? This is something I get asked a lot and comparisons can be done through QILT looking at student satisfaction rates, graduate employment rates and other indicators www.qilt.edu.au/.
