    Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)

    About

    Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour. Psychology is about understanding who we are and how we think, feel, act and change. This knowledge helps us improve wellbeing and psychological health for people across a range of social and cultural contexts. The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) is the first stage of qualification required to work as a professional psychologist. This degree alone will not qualify you to be a practicing psychologist, rather it provides comprehensive, foundational knowledge in the processes basic to human psychological functioning.

    Subjects include biological and social bases of behaviour, cognition and perception, social and developmental psychology, personality, and applied psychology. You will also learn the fundamentals of psychological practice, including the history of psychology, statistical and quantitative methods, and psychological assessment.

    See the course handbook for more information.

    You can also combine your psychology major with other disciplines available in the Bachelor of Arts degree allowing you to expand your understanding of human experience and broaden your career options. Students with an excellent academic record may apply to transfer to the four-year Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), or apply for the Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) after completion, both of which provides eligibility for provisional registration by Psychology Board of Australia, and a pathway to further study to become a psychologist. Additionally, the Northfields (Psychology) Clinic on campus provides hands-on practice with clients for both the Master of Psychology (Clinical) and Master of Professional Psychology students.

    You can specialise in a major by choosing from the following:
