The University of Melbourne
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationWe all want to understand people better, ourselves included. And mental health and well-being matter now more than ever. Psychology explores the complexities of mind and behaviour, and how they relate to the brain, society and culture. Learn about every stage of human behaviour, from behavioural neuroscience to cognitive processes, and the practical aspects of developmental, social and clinical psychology. With further study in one of our accredited masters degrees you can gain registration as a professional psychologist. You will develop a deep understanding of psychology that will set you up for future research or clinical postgraduate studies. You will learn research skills from your first year that will build in later years to give you the best foundation and depth of expertise needed to interpret and understand behaviour.
