| Overview |
The Bachelor of Psychological Science degree provides a thorough grounding in psychology and is immediately recognisable in the workplace. You study more Psychology units as you progress through each year of the degree. This provides an opportunity to explore other areas of interest in the early years of your degree but achieve a thorough grounding in Psychology by the time you graduate. You obtain a balanced education as well as a specialisation in Psychology. The degree includes Psychology units as diverse as Social Psychology (the study of human social behaviour), Biopsychology (the study of the brain), Psychological Assessment (conducting tests of human abilities and skills), and Psychopathology (the study of mental illness). Students with sufficient grades are eligible for entry into our accredited postgraduate fourth year.
