Why study Psychology?
Psychology is a broad ranging discipline that includes the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes, and the systematic application of this knowledge in specific contexts such as mental health, work, education and sport. Psychology students are equipped with a potent and diverse set of skills including critical thinking, research methodology, statistical analysis, and a deep understanding of human behaviour. Many people who study psychology will choose careers in other fields, where they find their psychology training to be highly relevant and valuable to their lives and work. Those who do go on to become registered psychologists will work in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, government bodies, large corporations, or in private practice. Students who complete the extended major in Psychology will be eligible to apply for Honours in Psychology. The Extended Major is fully accredited with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
