After seven years’ study, McLeod Robertson graduated from UC with distinction, thrilled his clinical psychology education will be helping others. From his high school years, McLeod Robertson knew he wanted to be a clinical psychologist and followed his passion to Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC).
“I have always had a fascination for psychology and the science behind it,” he explains. “The clinical programme at UC has a great reputation. Enrolling at UC [in 2016] allowed me to combine science with helping people and I get a lot out of that.”
Now a fully qualified and registered clinical psychologist, McLeod is working with Hillmorton Hospital’s anxiety disorders service in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
