After finishing my BSc in Psychology, I completed three
internships, including one at a psychiatric clinic. I chose
Newcastle as it allowed m e to study clinical as well as f orensic
psychology in oneMaster’ s course. T he lectures were inspiring,
cov ering a v ariety of topics and there was still plenty of tim e
to enjoy the city. My final thesis provided the opportunity
to work alongside some of the finest researchers, giving
m e f urther insight into another area of psychology.
T he course prov ided a stepping stone f or m e to study
a Doctorate program m e.
