Course Information

Deakin’s Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Psychological Science develops your understanding of human behaviour and helps to build the skills you need to become a competent and successful nurse. Armed with a wealth of real-world knowledge through your clinical placements, you’ll graduate ready for work as a registered nurse and be eligible to pursue further study towards qualification as a registered psychologist.

This combined degree helps you understand human personality, behaviour, emotion, underlying mental processes and the factors that lead people to differ in the ways they think and behave. You will learn in our purpose-built clinical simulation centres, which replicate real-world hospital and community settings with state-of-the-art equipment. Plus, you’ll undertake 800 hours of extensive clinical placements in various metropolitan, regional and rural healthcare settings, under the supervision of qualified practitioners, to support and consolidate your learning.

Career Opportunity

Career Opportunity

As a registered nurse with psychology experience, you will be a unique graduate who can pursue career opportunities around the world, in a range of work settings, including:

  • mental health rehabilitation

  • youth work

  • careers counselling

  • community development and work/life counselling

  • hospitals

  • homes

  • hospices

  • aged care settings

  • clinics

  • schools

  • universities

  • community health centres

  • government agencies and private industries.

Alternatively, if you are interested in pursuing a professional career in psychology, your next step involves enrolling into an approved ‘fourth year’ of psychology study (such as Deakin’s Graduate Diploma of Psychology or honours in psychology), after which you may apply for provisional registration with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA) and seek associate membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
In order to gain full registration, provisional psychologists can then complete either two years of supervised practise, or two years of postgraduate study - such as Deakin’s Master of Psychology (Clinical), Master of Psychology (Organisational), or Doctor of Psychology (Clinical) (with supervised practice completed outside the degree).
