UNDERGRADUATE

Bachelor of Psychological Science

Understanding how people think and what motivates them to act is vital in a variety of careers. In fact, many professions include psychology concepts in their training programs and day-to-day work.

Degree Details

The outcomes of the course are framed by the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) and by the threshold learning outcomes of the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, and comply with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accreditation standards of quality and competence. However, the course extends beyond such standards by introducing discipline- and area-specific units and skills-based training.

There are many career pathways available for students who have completed a degree in psychology, including:

  • Counselling
  • Aged, family and child services
  • Community health and welfare
  • Health services support e.g. Drug and alcohol, cancer, disability, rehabilitation
  • Human Resource Management
  • Marketing and Market Research
  • Employment and training services
  • Teaching
  • Probation and parole services
  • Policy and planning

  • Option 1: 5 + 1 Internship Pathway, e.g. Master of Professional Psychology
  • Option 2: APAC-accredited postgraduate professional psychology degree, e.g. Master of Psychology (Clinical)
