Why Bachelor of Psychology?
Why do people act the way they do? What makes one person behave in one way, and another completely differently? With psychology, you’ll unravel these mysteries and more. It’s not just about mental health – it’s about understanding human behaviour in every corner of society.
Discover how history, society and culture shape our views of ourselves and others. Learn to gather and apply evidence, separating fact from fiction in today’s digital age of misinformation. Deepen your active listening and empathy with practical experiences that bring theory to life. Embrace the richness of cross-cultural psychology, developing skills to work with people from diverse backgrounds.
Our Bachelor of Psychology prepares you for a huge range of exciting careers where people are at the centre of everything you do.

Overview
Study psychology and join a fascinating and dynamic field with career pathways into a wide variety of areas.
Psychology can impact education – informing teaching methods to engage and motivate students. Or it can help interpret market trends and consumer behaviour in a business context. In the tech field, psychology is driving the design of user-friendly products and human-machine interactions. Guided by ethics and social contexts, psychology’s influence spans politics, global diplomacy, law and justice.
With its focus on understanding human behaviour, our Bachelor of Psychology offers endless opportunities to make a difference. Learn to think like a psychologist, studying real-world problems in personal, professional and community contexts. Reflect on information sources and validity, developing important skills in critical thinking. Discover techniques to develop rapport, ask effective questions, and communicate clearly and with cultural sensitivity – skills that will serve you well in a huge range of contexts and careers.
For those interested in becoming a registered psychologist, further study is required through our Bachelor of Psychology (Honours).
Key features
Develop a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts, theories, principles and methods of psychology.
Apply your understanding of human behaviour in variety of real-world contexts.
Gain interpersonal and technical skills that are transferrable and in high demand across a range of industries.
Build advanced skills in quantitative and qualitative research.
Progress towards professional accreditation with our Bachelor of Psychology (Honours).
What you'll learn
Through the Bachelor of Psychology, you’ll study twelve core psychology courses that are common to all psychology specialisations. These courses are focused on building your theoretical understanding of psychology, critical, analytical and research skills, and your ability to apply an understanding of human behaviour in a variety of contexts.
Throughout your studies, you’ll develop knowledge in health and developmental psychology, building insight into healthy development across the lifespan. Studying Indigenous and Cross-Cultural Psychology will give you the knowledge, skills and values to work with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
You’ll learn to undertake psychological research, helping you to analyse and interpret data to draw insightful conclusions. You’ll also develop a deeper understanding of the different ways psychology can relate to individuals and groups.
In your final year, you’ll undertake an industry placement in a mental health or community organisation where you’ll gain practical experience alongside important industry connections.
Assessments for this degree include online quizzes and tests, case studies, written assignments, presentations, research reports, reflective practice, and supervised exams.
