Masters in Applied Psychology (Organisational)



Value of the Program

Completing my B Psych and subsequent Masters in Applied Psychology (Organisational) in 2002 was similar to experiencing a personal metamorphism. Utilising ones own life experiences in conjunction with six years of academic challenges one suddenly found themselves blossoming as a Registered Psychologist. The time at Murdoch provided a valuable rich tapestry in which support, ideas and guidance never ceased.

Having worked within telecommunications as Human Resources Advisor in addition to the oil and gas as Operations Coordinator one finds that position titles may vary yet the expectations remain constant. Organisational development, team building, recruitment, process evaluation and implementation are all common dependent variables that yield significant non-stop rewards. Although in many ways the final professional hurdle has been attained, one still draws from the academic theories to develop a further wealth of knowledge and experience towards a satisfying career.
