Bachelor of Psychological Science
University of Wollongong
Course Details
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, and how this influences behaviour. Psychological research seeks to identify those mechanisms that explain behaviour in various contexts. Psychologists use research findings to help understand who we are and how we think, feel, act and change. By understanding these aspects of human behaviour, psychologists are able to promote wellbeing and understand psychological problems affecting people. The Bachelor of Psychological Science is a three-year undergraduate degree and the first stage of qualification required to work as a professional psychologist. This degree alone will not qualify you to be a practicing psychologist, rather it provides comprehensive, foundational knowledge in the processes basic to human psychological functioning.
