Overview

If human behaviour fascinates you, consider a career in psychology. Swinburne’s Bachelor of Psychological Sciences is a first step to becoming a qualified clinical psychologist.

Psychology examines what makes us do the things that we do by seeking to understand personality, psychological disorders and the effects of social situations on our behaviour. You will learn about cognitive processes including memory, perception and attention, and how we change as we age.

Coursework will equip you with skills to design research projects and analyse behaviour.

Graduates who wish to practice as a psychologist will need to undertake further study in psychology, as required by the Psychology Board of Australia. If you are interested in a career that uses the theories and scientific methods of psychology, but qualifying and running a clinical practice is not for you, consider our Bachelor of Social Science with a major in Behavioural Science.
