About

This course provides a good basis in the scientific discipline of psychology alongside applications in human resource management professions.

It equips you with highly marketable knowledge and skills that allow you to engage with a broad range of managers, professionals and consultants.

You'll graduate with the necessary skills to work in human resource management, health and community services, employment and training, welfare agencies, and development both in government and private enterprise.

You'll also be prepared to pursue graduate studies in either professional application or research.

To become a registered psychologist after graduating from this degree, you will need to complete a further year of psychology study and then two years of skills-based training.
