You obtain a foundational and advanced understanding of the core topics in psychology. This program allows you direct entry into the entry point for the profession of psychology ie, fourth year (providing GPA requirements are met). Courses introduce students to broad aspects of the discipline and the professional practice of psychology. Areas that are considered include the cognitive, social, perceptual, physiological, intercultural, Indigenous, and abnormal psychologies and their influence of human behaviour. Studies also cover human development, motivation and emotion, personality and assessment, and human associative learning. Electives enable students to link to areas such as counselling, human services, health promotion, and sports psychology. In fourth year students have the opportunity to administer and score psychological tests, write assessment reports, discuss different psychological interventions and conduct a history taking interview. Students will also participate in and complete a research dissertation in fourth year. For more information, visit Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at USC.
