Honours
The Honours program at UniSA has benefited me for several reasons:
It has allowed me to focus on the dance culture from a specific psychological perspective that gave me insight into the self-esteem development of adolescent female dancers.
It has provided me with one-on-one support from UniSA academic staff that has improved my communication and academic skills for future employment in the academic field.
It has provided me with strong friendships with other postgraduate students that will provide constant support throughout my career.
It has offered me a flexible lifestyle and the freedom to develop my own work schedule.
The Honours program gave me a psychological understanding of the dance culture, a perspective that I would not have understood without the Honours program. It has provided me with the necessary analytical and research skills to benefit my clientele and business, therefore giving me an edge over competitors.
I started my own dance school in November 2005, therefore my
long-term career ambition is to build up the company and continue my
research with UniSA to become a key contributor to the dance culture
literature.
Achieving first-class honours allowed me to continue my research with
UniSA through a PhD scholarship. I am now researching the link between
personality traits, commitment and psychological contract in the Sport
Management field. A few big words to some, but it means that I can focus
towards a particular research field that will help to set up my future
academic career.
