Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology (C800) (Professional Training Placement)

Program Description

On this course, students will study the scientific evidence of behaviour, mental health and neuropsychological functioning, to understand what makes us who we are, how our minds work, and what influences our decisions and social relationships. 

In their first year, students will study core areas of psychology and research methods, to develop their foundations of psychological literacy. This will be supported by small group skills tutorials. 

In their second year, students will learn about contemporary issues that impact every area of psychology. They'll also complete a module that supports their professional skills development, covering placements, job preparation and career options available in the psychology field. 

In their final year, students will study an advanced critical thinking module and select four optional modules, to specialise and delve deeper into their areas of interest. They'll also receive supervision from a staff member to conduct their own scientific research project, critically evaluating protocols, data and literature.
