Why study Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. It is a broad ranging discipline that spans topics including brain function, memory, conscious experience, lifespan development, social behaviour and the full spectrum of functional and dysfunctional behaviour. Undergraduate students will gain an understanding of how to apply the scientific perspective to psychological phenomena in the laboratory and in the real world.

Psychology is available as a minor, major and extended major.

Employment opportunities

Psychology is one of the fastest growing and most rewarding professions. Our fully accredited programs provide graduates with a competitive edge in many areas of employment in Australia and overseas. Following advanced training there are a number of specialist career areas in psychology including scientific research, neuroscience, clinical practice, or consulting in large corporations, hospitals or government agencies. Those who choose careers outside of psychology will find their training in psychology to be highly relevant and useful in their lives and work. If you are seeking a psychology career then this fully accredited extended major in psychology provides the foundation for further training. You must complete the extended major in order to be eligible for entry into the Honours program.
