    About

    Overview

    How do we think and learn? How do we control our movements and behaviour? What makes us tick? Exploration of the human mind and behaviour is a fascinating field and this degree is an equally fascinating educational journey into behaviour, cognition, and psychological principles and theory.

    We have designed our Bachelor of Psychological Science to be a rich, flexible, and highly engaging learning experience. It will shed light on how humans work, individually and in sociocultural groups, and will take you inside your own head — to develop a deep and real understanding of your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. It will take you across many different fields of psychological practice — many you will never have considered. You will be working with an academic team comprising active researchers publishing their work in international journals.

    This degree will help you develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as proficiency in research and statistics, all of which will inform your ability to apply scientific approaches in professional settings as well as enhance your understanding of yourself and of the world.

    Pathway option: Diploma of Health (Psychological Science Specialisation).

    Career

    Graduates of the Bachelor of Psychological Science can seek employment in health, social and disability services, human resources, youth services, corrective services, armed services, research agencies, ‘big data’, education, and in a range of careers that require critical thinking and an understanding of human psychological factors.

    This degree is also a pathway to the Honours year. Eligible graduates may apply a fourth year of study in the APAC accredited Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours. Completion of that fourth year of study is the minimal educational qualification to apply for provisional registration as a psychologist in Australia (conditional on undertaking an approved practice pathway).

    Psychologists can undertake private practice and/or can gain employment in health, social, and disability services, youth services, corrective services, the armed services, research agencies as the CSIRO, in education, and in many other areas.

    The Bachelor of Psychological Science is conditionally accredited with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) for entrance into postgraduate training.
