From minimum wage to psychologist: Meet single mum Courtney

Courtney is a single mum living in Tasmania. She was earning minimum wage, didn’t finish Year 12, and didn't think she would ever go back to study again-until she spoke to a student advisor at Open Universities Australia. With their help, she enrolled in a Bachelor of Psychological Science, despite not having an ATAR.

That's truly inspirational . Hats off to you for accepting the challenge and then overcoming it . I have had over 15 years of experience in the banking sector but never obtained a degree and it has always held me back from reaching my fullest potential . To. To be honest I didn't get through my finals in grade 13 due to a personal issue I was facing and needed to start earning to support the family. Even though I always wanted to pursue my higher education the lack of a high school diploma always seemed to get in my way. I love programmes such as this that gives people the second chance they sometimes need .I would love to know the possibilities of me following your programme. Thank you once again.
