REASON FOR APPLYING TO THIS COURSE Psychology has always been a subject that has captivated me. The study of human behaviour and the workings of the mind fascinates me to no end. I am amazed by the unique functioning of our brains and how our thoughts and experiences shape our lives and impact the decisions we make. At this juncture of my career, I believe that a master’s degree in clinical psychology is a natural progression for me. A Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (other majors - Sociology and Economics) followed by my consequent career trajectory paired with the experiences life had to offer, not only cemented my interest in pursuing further studies in this field but has also made me confident and certain that this is my calling. My long-term career goal is to become a clinical psychologist and work with individuals who have mental health disorders. I am excited at the prospect of pursuing a Masters in Psychology. I look forward to gain a deeper understanding when it comes to assessing, diagnosing, treating and supporting individuals with different psychological disorders and conditions. Having conversed with multiple alumni from this reputable institution, I am confident that this program will provide me with a strong foundation in the subject and also help me develop as a researcher and practitioner. I look forward to contributing to the field and making a positive impact in the lives of individuals affected by mental illness.
