    Bachelor of Science in Psychology

    About

    Understand the ‘why’ at a whole new level

    Discover the science behind how and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do with UC’s Bachelor of Science in Psychology. In this course, you will learn how to use science and evidence-based practice to understand human behaviour in a wide range of settings.

    In only three years, you will learn the foundations of psychology and gain the knowledge, understanding and contacts to go on and explore a range of career and study opportunities once you graduate.

    This course is particularly beneficial for those studying double-degrees in law, business and sport & exercise science. Alternatively, you can choose to do a secondary major in many areas, including counselling, health science and sports.

    UC also offers extensive Work Integrated Learning opportunities including placements in local, national and international organisations – if available.
    This course is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council and opens opportunities for further study in psychology at honours and masters levels.
