CQUniversity Bundaberg is now able to deliver its own on-campus Bachelor of Psychology program, enabling "home-grown professionals" to service the needs of the Wide Bay region.

That's according to Health and Human Services Dean Professor Andy Bridges, who is based at the Bundaberg Campus.

Professor Bridges and other senior academics from the field will host an information session to explain how residents can benefit from the locally-delivered program.

This free event will be held from 6pm-8pm on Wednesday October 19 at the Bundaberg Campus in University Drive. RSVPs are via fseh_marketing@cqu.edu.au or 13 27 86 and details are available via www.cqu.edu.au/psych .

Participants in the session will be able to view the new psychology media laboratory and related facilities while meeting staff and current students. They will be able to go into the draw for an Apple iPad.
