Nicole

Bachelor of Psychology, PhD (Clinical Psychology)

Why did you choose to study Clinical Psychology at Newcastle?
I completed my undergraduate degree here, enjoyed my experiences. I believe Newcastle has great reputation for research and the staff I work with are leaders in their field. The campus is great. I prefer it to a 'city' campus, it's a more relaxed/calm environment. I also have family and friends in the Region, which will be a big influence on my ability to study/finish my degree. ...more about Nicole

Where are you currently working and what are you currently doing? How has your Aviation Management degree helped you in your professional life?
Currently I work as a resource coordinator for Toronto Pearson International Airport. The degree program has greatly helped me understand management - employee relations, implementation of human factors, observing communications lapses and modifying system and processes to improve communication. On a daily basis, I look after gating, gates mixes, sector mixes, and interface between airlines, and the various departments of the airport to ensure smooth passenger flows at the airport and looking after the various rules and regulations a Canadian airport is subject to. ...more about Lokesh

Lee

Bachelor of Psychology, PhD (Psychology - Science)

How did you find the support and service of staff at the University?
One of the highlights of studying at Newcastle was the support offered by both the academic and general staff. Their first concern was the success of students. Throughout my degree and honours year every possible assistance was afforded. This assistance gave me every chance to achieve my goals at University. My honours supervisor, Professor Andrew Heathcote, epitomised this high level of assistance by ensuring that not only myself, but all the students in my group had all the information and assistance necessary for success. Special mention should be given to the administration staff, whose knowledge regarding the degree rules and all other aspects of University study was a life saver on more than one occasion. ...more about Lee
