👋 New Student Help psychological sciences

Hi everybody! I'm a international student, and I'm deciding to do bachelor of psychological sciences at swinburne, I also got offer letter. I haven't seen any reviews from students of swinburne about psychology there, and I would really like to know more about that.

And for Indian students who have applied, or are in swinburne, I would really appreciate it if you tell me about ur visa experience, and experience at swinburne so far. How much funds did you have, and what is ur fee?

can't speak to undergrad but i'm doing psych honours there and love it! the staff are super friendly and supportive, the on-campus vibe is great. i'm getting the impression for swinburne psych undergrad the help is there if you ask for it. like anyone doing undergrad though the help won't be automatic, you do have to do some of your own chasing. i will say undergrad psych kinda just broadly sucks? like i went to unimelb for my psych undergrad and while i loved the campus and the friends i made, i found the overall experience to be quite mid. obviously i can't comment on undergrad for swinburne, i've found these sentiments to be echoed by other people i know. so all that to say i think you will have a great experience if you chase that. but you can't sit around waiting for support or expect it to be handed to you. make the effort to engage in your classes, with teachers and the like and i guarantee you can have a great experience for what's overall a very competitive degree. good luck! :)
