"I am very grateful for my time in the Counselling and Psychology Department. The programme offered more than theoretical knowledge; it equipped me to examine individuals’ strengths and needs from multiple psychological and developmental perspectives. Through a research project, I had the opportunity to present my work at an academic conference and later publish it in a journal with the guidance of my research supervisor. Together with my internship experience, the training strengthened my ability to integrate assessment, theory, and contextual understanding when working with students. The programme provided a solid academic and practical foundation that supported my pursuit of further studies and a professional direction in educational psychology."
