Career outcomes
It is easy to feel rushed for time, as though we only have one shot at getting something right; however, this is not the case. Lifelong learning requires making mistakes and sometimes even realising that despite how far you’ve come, it’s now time to try something different.
There are many career pathways available for students who have completed a degree in psychology, including:
- Human Resource Management
- Marketing and Market Research
- Employment and training services
- Teaching
- Community health and welfare
- Health services support e.g. Drug and alcohol, cancer, disability, rehabilitation
- Probation and parole services
- Aged, family and child services
- Policy and planning
- Counselling
If you aim to become a registered psychologist you will need to complete an APAC accredited fourth year psychology qualification e.g. Honours in Psychology, and then follow one of the following pathways:
- Option 1: 5 + 1 Internship Pathway, e.g. Master of Professional Psychology
- Option 2: APAC-accredited postgraduate professional psychology degree, e.g. Master of Psychology (Clinical)
Further information about these options can be found on the Australian Psychological Society website.
Professional Recognition
Accreditation Status: The Bachelor of Psychological Science (53F) is fully accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). Further information on accreditation status of psychology courses can be viewed on the APAC website.
Graduates who complete both an accredited undergraduate sequence and subsequently complete an APAC accredited fourth year psychology qualification will be eligible for provisional registration with the Psychology Board of Australia, with eligibility for full registration following two years of appropriate postgraduate training. Graduates will be eligible for membership of the Australian Psychological Society on completion of an accredited two-year postgraduate program in psychology.

Philosophy
Philosophy
Many other fields of inquiry, such as physics, political science, sociology, psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer science, have their foundation in Philosophy. In turn, Philosophy investigates not only the conceptual foundations of these sciences, but how they reflect, or fail to reflect, the human desire for meaning in our lives.
