James Morris chose to spend a semester at USC to add another dimension to his Psychology studies.
“My concentration at University of Glamorgan is a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and at USC I am studying Research and Data Analysis, Motivation and Emotion, Cognitive and Experimental Psychology as well as Counselling for the Health Professional,” James says.
James has been particularly impressed with the Research Data Analysis course.
“It has allowed me to understand to a bigger extent what research methods really means in studying Psychology, it has been a very well-structured course,” he says.
The USC campus environment and community have ensured a pleasant and easy transition from his home university to USC.
“I have been made to feel very welcome by staff, lecturers and other students from abroad and USC alike," James says.
"The International Relations staff have been so helpful with questions, trips, administration and any other queries I may have.
“The Sunshine Coast area has been a new and exciting environment for me, with the beach only 10 minutes away . . . with restaurants and clubs!” he says.
James has found that staying in student accommodation has helped him to make friends quickly and easily.
“UniCentral accommodation has been great for me. The social aspect of this accommodation has been really good, and allowed me to meet more people quickly,” James says.
James recommends the opportunity to experience another culture in the learning environment that can be found at USC.
“I would recommend study at USC for the experience of the different culture, incredible spectacles in the form of landscape and wonders around the Sunshine Coast area, as well as the rich learning environment provided by this institution,” James says.
