Honours Degree of Bachelor of Psychological Science

Turn high-achieving into a higher degree

Our Honours Degree of Bachelor of Psychological Science offers the necessary foundation for postgraduate research and registration as a psychologist.

It is available to students who have completed an undergraduate degree with a major in psychology, a three year psychology degree from an accredited institution, or our Bachelor of Psychological Science.

• Undertake a major research project chosen from an area of psychology.
• Partner with an academic mentor who'll support and encourage your academic progress.
• Work alongside potential employers in the industry and benefit from extensive industry links.
• Build advanced data analysis, team management, and research presentation skills.

Honours graduates can apply to further postgraduate studies in health psychology, clinical psychology, or organisational and human factors psychology. However, an honours degree will also give you a competitive edge in a wide variety of human-centred professions. You could become a social psychologist, doing large-scale research to change the way we go about our lives. You might work in community services with people of all ages and backgrounds. Perhaps you'll move into market research and advertising.
