Pursue a career that helps empower individuals and creates more socially engaged communities. Explore the social sciences, the connections between the brain and behaviour, and the meaning behind human interactions. Build your skills in critical thinking and analysis, communication, and social policy. Learn in state-of-the-art facilities including practical social work studios; our Centre for Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience; Cognitive Ageing and Impairment Neurosciences Laboratory; and the Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory located at Magill Campus.

During your studies, you will have opportunities to develop your networks, meet industry professionals and immediately apply your learnings to real-world environments. Complete fieldwork or a placement in a domestic or international setting, or collaborate with industry on cutting-edge research activities. Postgraduate students can also gain practical clinical experience in our on-campus Psychology Clinic, where you will treat real patients under the supervision of fully qualified clinical psychologists and gain hands-on experience across a range of therapeutic skills.

Enhance your career opportunities with a double degree. Combine your psychology qualification with a second discipline in law, human resource management, exercise and sport science, human movement or human services. Examine human behaviour and its application in different contexts and environments, and focus your studies on your interests and career goals.
