Uncover our inner workings
Are you fascinated by the human mind? Do you wonder what motivates our behaviour?
Psychological science investigates the way people think, behave, feel and learn. It studies processes of the human mind— including personality, intelligence and memory—so that we can better understand ourselves.
What will you do
Our Bachelor of Psychological Science nurtures creativity, analysis and communication skills. You will:
learn about human development and the biological bases of behaviour
investigate the mechanics of perception and learning
explore the nature of motivation and emotion
gain experience with psychological tests
develop skills for counselling
choose between over 35 majors and electives from related disciplines
design and undertake meaningful research projects.
Where could it take you
You could become a social psychologist, doing large-scale research to change the way we go about our lives. You might work in community services with people of all ages and backgrounds, or in market research and advertising. Perhaps you’ll go on to further study in the field and become a qualified psychologist.
