Additionally, you will continue to build your research portfolio and the programmatic development of your research skills through a suite of engaging, authentic assessment tasks.

Throughout PSY4413, emphasis will be placed on professionalism and fitness for practice, implementing research methodologies and planning analyses, ensuring a robust foundation for your future academic and professional endeavours.
