Bachelor of Psychological Science
Course Overview
In today’s fast-paced and challenging world, understanding human behaviour is a vital skill. The Bachelor of Psychological Science will help you understand human functioning in a broad range of professional settings. You can choose to undertake a minor in counselling, criminology, exercise science (exercise & nutrition), exercise science (physiology and psychology), human biology, or an Arts minor. You will graduate from the degree having completed a sequence in psychology accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) as a Level 1 Program. This sequence will ensure graduates acquire an advanced understanding of human behaviour and mental processes, and develop employable skills that are highly regarded by industry leaders. The degree also helps you prepare for optional further postgraduate study which may lead to registration as a professional psychologist. In collaboration with the team from Refraction media, we have created a number of Job Kits to give you an insight into various professions. We hope that these will inform and inspire you to choose the career path that is right for you. You can read about the day in the life of a student, what our graduates are doing now, how our expert academics have shaped the industry and what your study options are. Check out the Psychologist Job Kit, a great resource that will help you decide if psychology is for you. If you already hold a bachelor’s degree, you may be interested in our 100 credit point online APAC-accredited Level 1 program, the Graduate Diploma in Psychology.
