Psychology RMIT University

Overview

Psychologists work closely with clients to understand their mental state and how this may impact their behaviour while also conducting research and providing treatments, including counselling.

In this Psychology programme from RMIT University, students will examine broad topics of human behaviour and delve deeply into fundamental areas such as personality, psychopathology, social psychology, biological psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and research methods. 

Students also have the opportunity to take part in either a research project or field study placement with one of RMIT’s industry partners.

The degree provides a basis for pursuing further study if you want to become a practising psychologist.
