Bachelor of Science (Psychology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationPsychology is a science. The defining feature of any science is the objective approach that is used to advance our knowledge. In psychology we use this scientific approach to learn about behaviour and mental processes. While you can find out about our psychology degrees below, psychology is a broad field that includes:
- neuroscience
- cognition
- learning
- memory
- motivation
- reasoning
- decision making
- perception
- social (yourself as well as others)
- developmental
- clinical
- forensic
- health
You'll learn about aspects of human behaviour that will help you in daily life, including your interactions with others, your learning and memory performance, your ability to cope with pressure and your understanding of the causes of psychological disorders.
Psychology also intersects with many other disciplines across Arts, Design and Architecture (ADA), Business, Medicine & Health and Engineering. Psychology complements these disciplines, which benefit from an understanding of different aspects of human behaviour.
