Psychology is a discipline that involves both scientific research and applied professional practice. Psychologists seek to understand how the mind works – they focus on the complexities of human behaviour and provide strategies that can help people lead happier, healthier and more productive lives.

 

The prestigious Bachelor of Psychological Sciences (Honours) is intended for high-achieving students aiming for a career in a specialist field such as clinical neuropsychology, clinical psychology, organisational psychology or professional psychology. You’ll study advanced topics in psychology and professional practice, receive further training in the analysis of data and research methodologies, and conduct a substantive piece of research. Through these studies, you’ll advance your scientific understanding of the psychological processes that underlie behaviour, including cognition, emotion, learning, motivation, perception and personality.
