University of Tasmania
Bachelor of Arts (Psychological Science)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationWhen you study psychology, you will begin to understand the science behind human behaviour – and how this science can be used to solve practical problems in all sorts of situations. Psychological science covers everything from how the brain functions, to how social and environmental factors shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Students who graduate with a major in psychology have a wide range of career options beyond working as a counsellor or psychologist. UTAS psychology graduates have gone on to work in fields such as human resources, defence forces, health and legal agencies, and many other settings. And our research is just as varied – from working with expeditioners in the Antarctic, to communities in remote Australia; from learning how children develop language, to understanding how gaming influences behaviour.
