Bachelor of Psychology
The Bachelor of Psychology will help you develop a scientific understanding of human thoughts and behaviours, the psychological processes underlying these and the relationship of these processes to brain function. Additionally, students gain group experience conducting research, the application of psychology in business settings, as well as gain some understanding of Indigenous heritage, experience, and knowledge. It is a three-year undergraduate sequence in psychology, awarded accreditation by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
