Gain a career advantage by developing your understanding of human behaviour. This course will prepare you with essential knowledge, practical skills, digital capabilities, and ethical and cultural sensitivity for working in a range of contemporary settings. It is also the first step towards a career as a registered psychologist or as a researcher.
Build your own degree based on your interests and career aspirations. The flexible structure of this course allows you to select from a wide range of elective units. You can focus your learning on specific interests and emerging areas of employment. Choose from specialised areas of psychology, including social and organisational psychology, alcohol and drug studies, forensic psychology, group and family therapy, the psychology of trauma, and community psychology.
You will also have the option to study a minor, selecting elective units from psychology or from other study areas in the university, such as science, criminology, creative industries and business. These elective units may be combined to form a minor in Counselling Practice and Skills.
Behavioural science is also offered within a range of double degree options. Choose to combine your study of human behaviour with business, law, justice, social work, or nursing to gain a competitive edge in the workplace.
Registration as a psychologist requires further study.
