Structure

  • The Bachelor of Psychology (Advanced) (Honours) is a rigorous degree that will require students to maintain a GPA of 6 to progress through the degree. The degree includes the standard accredited psychology pathway. In addition, the first year of the degree extends the interface between psychology and technology, particularly how it applies to research and practice. Consideration is given to cyber-psychology, human ethics, social media and online safety, gambling and, how web-based tools improve health outcomes. This year also allows students to expand their horizon by undertaking broadening electives outside of psychology. Second year has an extension into international psychology and takes the focus to a global context. A broader perspective of psychology will delve into world consciousness and cultural intelligence
  • along with the influence personality and intelligence has on cultural behaviours. During this year students will be given the opportunity to collaborate with other university students providing a perspective of psychology in different cultural settings. Students will develop their research and career-readiness skills in the third year. This year will prepare students for leadership, research, policy or practice, whilst laying the foundation for honours in fourth year. Students will be exposed to business analytics, developments in big data, along with project and communication management skills. Honours in fourth year, allows students to undertake independent research which is tailored to their area of interest.
