SEGi College Subang Jaya recently hosted an inspiring session for BSc Psychology students, featuring an accomplished alumna who is now a licensed clinical psychologist. The session was arranged as part of the Introduction to Applied Psychology course and aimed to bridge academic learning with real-world applications. The alumna, a graduate of SEGi’s partnership programme with the University of York St John, shared her journey, from academic challenges to becoming a practising clinical psychologist, offering valuable insights into the profession.
Students gained a comprehensive understanding of the responsibilities and challenges faced by clinical psychologists, including the therapies provided and the skills required to succeed in the field. Practical tips on achieving a first-class degree in this UK-accredited programme were also shared, encouraging students to strive for excellence. Feedback from participants highlighted the session’s value, with all students expressing satisfaction and no suggestions for improvement.
