The course is designed for those who wish to combine a psychology major with areas such as science, computing, arts, management or marketing.
Students complete a major in either psychological studies or psychology. They also complete an arts minor and a second major or minors chosen from arts, business and commerce, information technology or science. (Note that the psychological studies major is not APS-accredited.)
Students who wish to gain full registration in Australia as a psychologist must complete a fourth year and masters programs in psychology. (The Diploma of Psychology is the equivalent of an undergraduate major in psychology.)
Due to the flexible nature of the degree and the range of studies available, graduates will have opportunities in business research and analysis, management consulting, human resources training and development, administration, urban environmental research and planning, and social research.
