Overview

Learn about human behaviour, motivation and relationships in this psychology degree. Prepare to apply for registration as a provisional psychologist and take up further career and postgraduate study options.

You’ll spend the first three years of the Psychology (Honours) programme at Victoria University focusing on psychology and social research methods. This includes a work placement during your third year, in which you’ll gain practical experience in a professional setting.

In the fourth (honours) year, you’ll pursue advanced studies in quantitative and qualitative social research methods, professional practice units and a research thesis.

You’ll graduate with an in-depth knowledge of human emotion and behaviour to understand why we think and behave in the way we do – and why this differs from one individual to the next.
