Bachelors of Psychology

This course provides students with broad knowledge and skills in behavioural science, in addition to a specialisation in psychology. The course provides an introduction to the broad area that psychology covers, including developmental, social, cognitive, industrial/organisational educational, forensic, sport, health and clinical psychology.

As well as completing a psychology major, students study other units that relate to biological or social aspects of behaviour; students may also combine their psychology studies with relevant units in the biological, statistical, or computer sciences, as well as business or social sciences. The skills and knowledge required by a psychologist are developed throughout the course.
