Bachelor of Psychological Science
The Bachelor of Psychological Science is accredited with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and explores a range of subjects on human thought and behaviour including developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology and personality.
Throughout your studies, you will develop a solid foundation to equip you with the communication, research, critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to meet the high demand for graduates in psychology. You will also broaden your knowledge with elective subjects throughout first, second and third year.
As a graduate, you may work in community welfare and case management, business and industry, youth and family support, the criminal justice system, marketing or research.
