Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The Bachelor of Psychology is designed to provide you with a wide range of knowledge and skills in human behaviour. Core courses are designed to introduce you to the broad areas of human behaviour, then to focus in-depth in fundamental areas (developmental, cognitive, biological and social psychology and research methods). You will finally learn to apply the basic theory of human behaviour to areas such as assessment, psychopathology, psychotherapy and community/society.
The teaching approach in this program is designed to foster your development as an independent learner so you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate. The teaching method includes lectorial, seminar, tutorial, practical and laboratory sessions, and provision of online materials.
Specialist professional options allow you to explore the work of psychology in forensics, across cultures, gender, organisations and health. The program provides you with knowledge and skills to continue your studies in professional areas (e.g., Honours followed by postgraduate coursework; research degrees in psychology; or other education/health related areas) or to graduate and gain employment in a range of diverse settings.
In your final year of study, BESC1530 Research Project or BESC1527 Psychology Field Placement, provide you with a capstone experience, which will give you the opportunity to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your program. These capstone courses are the culmination of your program and require that you integrate and apply knowledge and skills from previous years of your program.
This program will be delivered via blended learning and include a combination of interactive online and face to face classes.
