Beyond the Traditional Route: Exploring Alternative Careers in Psychology (8 May 2025)

Not every journey in psychology follows a straight line—and for many, the path beyond Honours or unsuccessful programme placements can still lead to a fulfilling, impactful career. This workshop is designed for students and early-career graduates who are exploring how to apply their psychology skills in innovative and non-traditional contexts.

Join professionals who have transitioned into dynamic roles across industries such as user experience, digital marketing, behavioural science, corporate training, research, and more. Through engaging discussions, they will share how their psychology background positioned them for success, what additional skills or mindset shifts were needed, and how to leverage psychological training in fields outside of clinical or registered practice.
