Overview

The Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) is a four year Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited degree. The Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) course aims are based on the Standards provided by APAC and the relevant CSU Graduate Learning Outcomes (Indigenous cultural competence; sustainability, ethics, global citizenship; practice based education, digital literacies and academic literacy, learning and numeracy). In general, the course aims to provide graduates with both the academic requirements to progress into a fifth year study in psychology  (the professional aim) and an understanding of the basis of human behaviour (the disciplinary aim). These aims include providing students with a number of analytic and service directed skills that will have  relevance to a broad range of employment areas including research. Specifically, the Bachelor of Psychology aims to provide students with an education in the discipline of psychology and an introduction to the application of psychology as well as to develop competence in research. It also aims to graduate students who are critical thinkers and who have a strong ethical ethos.
