Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Psychology

Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

In this double degree, you will be able to combine:

• Bachelor of Psychology: This degree will provide you with a scientific understanding of the psychological processes that underlie behaviour. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of fundamental psychological concepts, as well as to more specialised areas such as child psychology, neuropsychology, social and personality psychology, health psychology, organisational psychology, cognition and perception, and psychopathology.
• Bachelor of Commerce: This course will prepare you to become a business professional in a wide range of careers. You'll study a set of extensive and integrated foundation units to orient you to business, and then you'll complete one or two majors to develop depth in your chosen discipline.
