"I graduated from the Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) program at USQ and have recently had the opportunity to work with the Academic Quality Unit, focusing on evaluation. I've learned how USQ evaluates its programs and to research and produce analytic reports, along with working in an academic setting. I'll now be able to write a paper for publication which will be very helpful for a PhD application and potentially a scholarship. If you're planning on applying for a PhD, I encourage you to apply. It will help you understand how the university runs and give you great exposure to research work."
