Why Bachelor of Psychology?
Psychology helps us uncover why we think, feel and take the actions we do. Cognitive neuroscience goes deeper – exploring the relationship between our brain and mind. It blends psychology and biology to explain how we process thoughts, memories, languages and actions.
This understanding of human development is relevant to a huge number of careers. From mental health support to education, human resources, human-computer technology, marketing and more – our Bachelor of Psychology majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience prepares you to excel in fulfilling careers centred around human interaction.
