This accredited three-year undergraduate degree provides students with in-depth knowledge of the scientific study of human behaviour, as well as research and analytical experience. Delivered flexibly online or on campus, the degree is designed to give students a balanced education with a psychology focus.
Students complete a mandatory minor in Psychological Health and Wellbeing and have the freedom to choose electives from any unit offered by UNE. With opportunities to focus study with a Community Services major, Counselling major, or Criminology minor, the course allows students to develop transferable skills that are highly valued in the workplace and opens doors to further advanced study in psychology.
Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour – individual characteristics and abilities, how people act in social situations, how the brain works, and how experiences and biology interact to produce normal and abnormal behaviour. The Bachelor of Psychological Science provides students with a thorough grounding in the core areas of psychology and emphasises the development of transferable skills, ensuring students are able to change and adapt to challenges and opportunities in the workplace.
Students explore a wide range of subjects, studying more focused psychology units as they progress through each year of the degree. The Bachelor of Psychological Science includes the study of the history and philosophy of psychology, motivation, emotion, social psychology, the biological bases of behaviour, cognition, language and more.
