Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00219C

The Bachelor of Psychological Science provides you with a comprehensive overview of the theoretical, scientific and technical knowledge of the discipline of psychology. You'll be prepared for a career in fields that require an understanding of human behaviour and development, behaviour change and research methodology alongside strong verbal and written communication skills. In this course, you will not only develop knowledge of the range of core scientific and research areas that make up psychology, but also gain an understanding of the methodologies and statistical techniques used by researchers for information gathering and analysis. Moreover, you will have numerous opportunities to apply your knowledge in real-world settings, explore the professional uses of psychology, and collaborate in teams to solve industry-based problems. The course is delivered in accordance with the foundational (Level one) competencies for three-year undergraduate psychology programs, as specified by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). If you seek a career as a registered psychologist, you'll need to complete further studies, such as our Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) degree and an accredited postgraduate study in psychology.
