It's the question on everyone's mind - what does the event have to offer, exactly?
Many of us come from many walks of life, bound together by our passion for Psychology. Whether you are a freshly initiated student or relatively more experienced, it can be tough trying to make sense of the circle we now find ourselves in. Sure, you might be studying Psychology, but what exactly do you wish to specialise in? For what cause do you wish to work for? And if you do have an idea of what direction to move in, how do you head there? These are all questions that all of us will eventually have to consider, notwithstanding the constant reminders from our relatives every holiday.
We hear you, and we want you to know you're not alone - UniPsych Symposium was created to assist students in seeking the answers to these questions, and more.
Here is a list of things the upcoming UniPsych Symposium 2018 has to offer you:
1) A platform to connect with experts and professionals (and like-minded peers)
Psychology is an increasingly popular discipline in Singapore that many students are seeking to enter. With this increasing number of psychology undergraduates, how can you better stand out from the rest? Besides studying hard for your honours degree, networking with industry practitioners is also an effective way to get one foot in the door. This is where UniPsych Symposium is help you further your career goals. The Symposium houses more than 30 industry experts from over 10 niches, including educational, forensic, clinical and community psychology among others. These experts will be drawing on their personal experiences in their unique careers to share advice, tips, and potential career opportunities. Furthermore, you are given the opportunity to get up close and personal with them. There might be no other event so tailored and refined for the interests of psychology undergraduates.
You will also meet students from universities such as Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), and James Cook University Singapore (JCUS). This can be a great opportunity to expand your social circle.
2) Knowledge of diverse career opportunities
Some students enter psychology with a compelling desire to branch out into a specific specialisation. On the other hand, others are pursuing the subject without expectations and keeping their options open. No matter which category you fall into, all of us are looking out for opportunities that can contribute to a clearer picture of our future in the field. These opportunities may be presented in various forms, such as connections with others or concrete knowledge through the awareness of internships and organisations. UniPsych Symposium is the perfect platform to bring these opportunities to you - the only thing that's left is for you to reach out and grab them!
Registering for the event will give you full access to the symposium. The programme includes 3 talks of your choice out of 30 available, a buffet lunch, and a panel session of 4 established psychologists. Where else can you find such an amazing deal?
