Tips on how to cope in close quarters

As measures to stop the spread of coronavirus hit hard, chances are your home is looking less like a port of calm in a storm and more like a conflict zone as work and home lives collide. Professor Paula Brough says you are not alone... many people are understandably anxious about what’s happening around the country and internationally but just as anxious about what’s happening inside their front door.

As an expert in occupational stress and coping, Professor Brough says there are three key practices which may help people cope with the current circumstances.

Thinking about postgraduate study?

With completion of your bachelor degree you have the opportunity to continue your studies in existing discipline areas, explore new career options or undertake research.

You can develop your skills and knowledge for a great career with a postgraduate business degree. Our graduate certificate programs are only four courses in length if you prefer a shorter program, you can then choose to progress and complete your masters. Or if you are a honours student, there is potential to enter a PhD. Most postgraduate degrees are flexible with a combination of learning to suit your needs. 

Get personalised advice from our postgraduate team to learn more about study options to suit your goals and circumstances.  We will listen to what you’d like to achieve and provide the best program suited to your outcomes including study options, entry requirements, fees and available scholarships. We’ll also help with any questions you may have.
