Hi, my name is Justin Timora and I'm one of the lecturers in Psychology at Federation. What makes our program stand out is the people. So within our psychology program we really take pride in building strong connections between staff and students and we look at how we can support our students every step of the way. We provide priority pathways from our undergraduate programme through to postgraduate psychology if you're interested in becoming a registered practitioner. So our classes are small, but that's a good thing because you get to know your classmates and staff on a first-name basis. And we find this helps create a comfortable and safe environment where our students feel more confident to be able to share their ideas and their perspectives on different aspects of psychology that we cover. So as you get to know our staff, you'll start to see that they genuinely care about your success, and they'll be there for you throughout your whole academic journey every step of the way. So whether you're interested in becoming a psychologist or you want to use your psychology knowledge in other areas like research or community welfare, we will help you develop theoretical and practical knowledge and teach you how to apply in different real life scenarios. So our program includes options for work experience and also working with local community organisations to help them solve problems. So if you're thinking about starting psychology, that program is very welcoming and supportive, and we love seeing students on this exciting adventure where they start to see the world and themselves differently.

Psychology graduates key to meeting regional demand
Only 30% of trained psychiatrists and psychologists live in regional areas, which puts extra pressure on services available outside major cities. Federation University Psychology student enrolments have increased by 87% since 2019, which could help to address workforce shortages.
