Psychological Science Major
Psychological sciences concern the scientific study of human behaviour, psychology and mental processes. You will learn about how we behave as individuals as well as in groups; the way we act as well as the way we think; and our interactions with the physical world as well as our interactions with others.

If you are interested in studying psychology but do not wish to pursue professional accreditation, you can complete a Psychological Science major. This major will introduce you to the scientific study of human behaviour, psychology, and mental processes which have applications in many careers.

Please note that the Psychological Science major is not a pathway to professional accreditation as a psychologist. If you wish to undertake professional training at postgraduate level to become a registered psychologist, you will need to complete the full Psychology program.
