BACHELOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND COUNSELLING
The insight to create connection
Understand human connection. Lead a successful career in applied psychology with counselling.
You care about the wellbeing of those around you, and want to make a positive contribution to people’s lives. One in four Australians will meet the criteria for mental illness in a 12 month period, making this career path extremely important to the community (National Survey of Mental Health). Our Bachelor of Psychological Science and Counselling gives you deep insight into why we think and act the way we do, what impact society has on our actions, and how to empower people to act differently. This specialised double major gives you the skills to successfully explore a career in applied psychology. It’s the first three years of six years training required if you want to work as a registered psychologist.
The counselling major also complements your knowledge of psychology, and will be of huge benefit if you want to work in a dedicated counselling role. You will be required to complete compulsory practical placement as part of your counselling units.
This course is accredited without conditions by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The course is conditionally accredited in Perth.
