Lachlan GrantBachelor of Psychology (Honours) I chose to study at Monash because of the University's outstanding reputation and the more targeted psychology undergraduate course offered; which allowed for the completion of extra psychology units. I have always had an interest in psychology, especially in understanding human behaviour and individuality. The questions we ask ourselves about thinking, behaviour, human interaction and emotions never dull for me and psychology has provided me with a means to find answers, learn and grow. | ![]() |
Luis MascaroBachelor of Psychology (Honours) [pictured left] I chose to study Psychology at Monash University, because it ticked every box that an aspiring psychology student would want out of a psychology undergraduate course. Out of all the options, Monash’s psychology course was the obvious choice for me, due to its direct and scientifically thorough approach to creating the most up-to-date and innovative foundation to the study of psychology, that I knew would be the ideal platform for later postgraduate studies or careers in the field. | ![]() |
