Psychology
The program is unique in
that engaging in research is a
requirement throughout the degree.
This not only gives an insight into
how research is conducted in real
life, but also allows students to
become part of the great work the
school does in understanding and
treating psychological issues
in the wider community.

Fit uni into life
Attendance at university is less structured
than time spent at high school. The hours
spent on campus in lectures, tutorials,
practicals or in the field—known as
‘contact hours’—depend on the program
students enrol in, study mode selected
(internal, external, online or flexible
learning) and course choices.
This diary snapshot is only one example
of how a student may choose to schedule
their university study and life.

Psychology
What is psychology?
Psychology may be defined as the
systematic study of mental processes and
behaviour. It covers a number of interest
areas which are relatively independent to
one another, for example: sensory
perception; personality and individual
differences; and learning and memory.
Psychology studies each of these areas in
the context of the behaviour of a range of
subjects, focusing on the experiences and
actions of both humans and animals.
Psychology is a diverse and fascinating
field of study with many applications. It
suits a wide range of people, with a wide
range of different interests, including those
who enjoy working alone or with others.

Bachelor of Psychological Science
There are two Bachelor of
Psychological Science pathways,
depending on whether students
are prospective undergraduate
students or university graduates.
Pathway 1: undergraduate entry
Designed for school leavers and those
who have not previously completed an
undergraduate degree.
Pathway 2: graduate entry
Designed for those who have an
undergraduate degree that does not include
psychology or includes psychology but was
not completed in the last five years.
Why study the Bachelor of
Psychological Science?
The Bachelor of Psychological Science is designed
for students who seek to undertake a comprehensive
program of study in psychology and related areas
of learning. It can lead to further postgraduate
study and registration as a psychologist.
www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder
The early part of the program seeks to provide
an overview of psychology as a discipline and
as a profession.
The program then builds on this foundation and
enables students to study in areas such as:
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
biological bases of behaviour
cognition and language
developmental psychology
learning and memory
mental health
motivation and emotion
personality and individual differences
sensory perception
social psychology
As psychology is an evidence based discipline,
students also have an opportunity to find out about
the range of methodologies employed to collect
and analyse data relevant to these various topics.
In addition, students become acquainted with
cultural and ethical issues that may impact on the
practice of psychology.
On completion of the Bachelor of Psychological
Science students are eligible to apply for an
honours program. To gain provisional registration
with the Psychology Board of Australia, students
must complete an honours program.
Honours
This is a one year program that follows the
Bachelor of Psychological Science. Students
are eligible to apply for honours at the University
psychological
of Adelaide’s School of Psychology or honours
programs accredited by the Australian Psychology
Accreditation Council (APAC) offered by other
Australian universities.
Professional accreditation/registration
The Bachelor of Psychological Science has
been accredited by APAC. Graduates who have
completed the program are eligible to apply for the
honours year, followed by a two year postgraduate
qualification. See diagram on page 5 for further
information on how to become a psychologist.
Potential careers
Employment prospects for psychologists are good,
and employment opportunities for psychologists
are expected to show strong growth in 2016–17*.
The types of jobs available to psychology
graduates are becoming increasingly varied.
Graduates of the undergraduate degree may
seek careers with employers such as recruitment
agencies, government agencies (e.g. Centrelink),
rehabilitation agencies, marketing companies,
or in any area that can utilise skills in data
analysis, critical thinking, report writing, time
management, communication and presentation
(e.g. human resources).
There is also a broad range of specialisations
for those pursuing the postgraduate study
options in psychology, including clinical, health,
organisational and human factors psychology.
