Nurture Life
Myles Medwell completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science, Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science and a Master of Professional Psychology.
“I chose to study Psychological Science at Federation because of the university’s commitment to creating a sense of community and belonging.
Due to this devotion, I have been fortunate in developing professional relationships with members of the psychology department which have resulted in unique opportunities.
For example, in the last year of my bachelor degree, I was offered an internship at the Austin Hospital as a research assistant.
Such an experience wouldn’t exist without Federation’s commitment to developing an environment where interpersonal relationships between staff and students are welcome.
