"I find it very intriguing to study about the human mind; understanding why and how our brain functions and responds in situations. My favourite module is Behavioural Models in Psychology. I am an observant and curious person by nature, and the module fuels my interest in providing a greater understanding of the subject."

"MDIS offers programmes of distinct quality which allows me to pursue my choice of course. I was able to learn about the different mental illnesses that humans experience and the myriads of approaches that are available to cater to them and to mitigate or eliminate them. I was also really intrigued by the complexities of the different personalities that humans have and the reasons that explain why each person behaves differently."

"There was a good focus on research, which aligns with my own interests. I enjoyed the Clinical Psychology module as it was interesting to study different therapeutic approaches to mental illness. I also enjoyed studying the Independent Research (1 & 2) modules as it gave me the freedom to choose my area of research and methodology."

"I like how our lecturers provide real-world examples and challenge us to look beyond what we have learnt. The discussion we had during each lecture, helped us understand and interrelate each concept. They made the concepts easier to remember, not by force, but by deeper understanding. The modules were designed to address all basics concepts of the field, from history to the different theories present. It encompasses all that a person needs to pursue further studies and research in the industry. The lecturers were all well educated in the field and had plenty of experience to share."
