Health Psychology (BEHL 3012).
Health Psychology is a specialist psychology course revolving around the association of individual psychology with physical health. This course will help me to understand how to help others health through psychological means as well as my own.

I know it will add to my knowledge regarding helping people, a highly regarded value of mine, as well as support my endeavour to attain my desired GPA (University of South Australia, 2016c).

Thus my skills in adaptation would be beneficial in such a scenario in researching subfields of psychology and alternate career options and opportunities.
