The world needs psychological leaders who can apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems, and the Vanguard Fellowship is where that transformation begins. This is our pathway for undergraduate psychology students and B.Sc. psychology graduates. It is a highly selective, immersive programme designed to turn promising psychology students and graduates into the next generation of professional leaders. This is a journey of high commitment, built on a foundation of intellectual rigour and hands-on professional experience. We are not building a simple training programme; we are forging careers, cultivating minds, and creating a community of ethical, innovative, and deeply capable professionals. We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.

A Holistic Pathway to Mastery: The Trifecta System

The Vanguard Fellowship is built on the Trifecta Pathway, a dynamic system of three interconnected components that run simultaneously. Think of it as a continuous feedback loop: what you learn is immediately applied, and what you experience in practice informs your learning. This holistic approach ensures every aspect of your professional growth is nurtured, creating a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

1. The Live Workshop Curriculum: This forms the core of the programme. Twice each week, Vanguard Fellows convene for a live, interactive two-hour workshop designed to build the essential skills of a modern psychological professional. These are intensive, practical training sessions where you will master the professional toolkit, refine your voice, develop an evidence-based mindset, and learn complex scientific skills.

2. The Adjunct Volunteer Service: This is a practical, hands-on journey. For two years, every Vanguard Fellow is immersed in a PFI team, applying skills learned in workshops to a real work environment. It is a four-stage journey designed to gradually develop your competence and responsibility, starting in the foundational quarter, where they are integrated into a team, shadowing senior members and completing small, low-pressure tasks, progressing to the proficiency quarter, where they become proficient, independent contributors, solving problems and taking on greater responsibilities within their team, which will lead to a final project that synthesises all learned skills.

3. Dedicated Events: Beyond the core curriculum, the Vanguard Fellowship is a community with curated events which are designed to broaden psychological knowledge, foster critical thinking, and build lifelong connections through quiz and gamification sessions, public speaking and debate sessions, journal clubs, and the psych simulation laboratory.
