COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The Bachelor of Business will introduce you to a broad range of foundation and future-focused business units that will equip you for the jobs of tomorrow in a wide range of industries. In addition, you’ll develop a valuable set of employability skills – leadership, strategic thinking, problem solving, communication, teamwork, and sustainable and ethical thinking – which are highly sought-after in today’s rapidly evolving global business landscape. The Bachelor of Psychology will provide you with a scientific understanding of the psychological processes that underlie behaviour. You’ll get exposure to a range of fundamental psychological concepts, as well as to specialised areas such as child psychology, neuropsychology, social and personality psychology, organisational psychology, cognition and perception, and psychopathology. When followed by an honours year, this degree is a pathway to postgraduate study, which will enable you to become a qualified psychologist. From 2024, honours in psychology can be undertaken via the new one-year Bachelor of Psychological Sciences (Honours). Applications to this degree are available to those who have successfully completed a Bachelor of Psychology, and who meet the required WAM and additional criteria.
