Testimonials

2017 / BSc Psychology
My time at Burman has made me the person I am today. My psychology classes gave me the foundational knowledge to prepare for life after university. My practicum introduced me to the field of mental health and addictions as well as the homeless sector where I have based my career. I am now pursuing my Master of Counselling to continue helping others and being a light for Jesus. Burman University introduced me to many opportunities including meeting lifelong friends and my now husband.
