I chose to study Psychology and Criminology to acquire practical knowledge that would improve my skills and competitive value, aiming for an eventual Master’s Degree.

As a part-time student, a quality education could immediately impact my career. Hence, the Psychology and Criminology Double Major Degree programme provided by Murdoch University was perfect. Both subjects enhanced my understanding of human behaviour, thus improving my response time to potential threats. This allowed me to study and apply what I had learnt to my work concurrently.

In addition, Murdoch University Psychology Degrees being recognised by the Australian Psychology Society (APS) has given me an edge due to their recognition.

After great effort and numerous sacrifices, my work has paid dividends. The Psychology: Individual Differences and Performance, and Criminal Behaviour modules in particular, have directly contributed to my work. Having to juggle between my job and studies has also reinforced my time management skills.

I found that this programme has raised the bar of my career performance and given me a competitive advantage in the market. Thus I would highly recommend studying with Murdoch University.

As an experienced decision maker, I was very keen to acquaint myself with the Singapore Legal system. I decided to sign up for the Law Degree under Birmingham City University (BCU) because it is a reputable university for academic excellence in UK with modules relevant to my interest in Common and Civil Law. Kaplan has the right support team and facilities such as a simulated courtroom for students to practice legal advocacy skills. The well-planned schedule provides more time for working adults like myself to do self-revision and group project discussions.

While I was one of the more mature students, I felt comfortable participating in class discussions with fellow students of different age groups and backgrounds. The lessons helped me tremendously as I was able to better contribute my knowledge in the form of pro-bono legal advice to needy residents at a legal clinic, which I started in 2017.

As lessons progressed, the learning experience warmed my passion in law and I envision myself joining the legal community in 5 years’ time and contributing more to the society by helping others overcome their challenges in the legal system.
