Course Overview
The Bachelor of Psychological Science course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the theoretical, scientific and technical knowledge of the discipline of psychology. The course will prepare you for a career in contexts that require an understanding of human behaviour and development, behaviour change and research methodology alongside strong verbal and written communication skills.
In this course, you will develop knowledge of the range of core scientific and research areas that make up psychology, and an understanding of the methodologies and statistical techniques used by researchers for information gathering and analysis. You will learn how to engage in professional written and verbal communication and how to engage in research and professional practice in an ethical and culturally- and socially-responsive manner. There will be opportunities for you to explore applied and professional uses of psychology and work in teams to solve industry-based problems.
The course is delivered in accordance with the foundational (Level one) competencies for three-year undergraduate psychology programs, as specified by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). You can complete further study through the CQUniversity 1-year Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) degree and then undertake accredited postgraduate study to gain registration as a psychologist.
If you have successfully completed the first year of the course, but do not wish to continue in the course you may request to exit the course with a Diploma in Behavioural Science.
Note: If you already have an existing Bachelor's degree and wish to obtain an accredited undergraduate psychology sequence, consider enrolling in CF59 Bachelor of Science (Psychology).
Career Information
Not everyone with a psychology degree goes on to work
as a registered psychologist. People with a psychology degree are
employed in a wide and diverse range of areas including (but not limited to)
youth work, disability, rehabilitation, mental health, career counselling,
social work, human resources, management, counselling, child development,
education, forensic, health and coaching.
Graduating with this degree will not allow you to call
yourself a 'psychologist'. This requires further study involving an honours
degree (such as our Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours)- CC42), and
then an accredited Psychology Board of Australia pathway (for more details see http://www.psychologyboard.gov.au/Registration.aspx).
Adding a fourth year of study will also prepare you
for research higher degree studies in psychology (either Masters by Research,
or a Doctor of Philosophy). These pathways involve undertaking a unique
supervised research project that provide you with the opportunity to develop
and consolidate your research skills, and apply them in practical, real-world
settings.

Credit Applications
Credit applications for units will only be granted where the units that form the basis of the credit application have been taken as part of a course of study in psychology offered by an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited academic organisational unit.
Refer to the Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit information on the CQUniversity website for further on the guidelines and application process.
Computing Requirements
Students will need to have access to a computer or equivalent device in order to complete their coursework. It is important that students have dependable access to the internet and a computer (or equivalent device) with hardware capable of video conferencing for online classes.
Students enrolled in this course will be engaged in many activities involving technology and the online environment, including video conferencing into online classes, completing assessments in word processing or presentation software, recording oral presentations, submitting written or video-recorded assessments online, completing online tests or quizzes, posting to online forums, and responding to emails.
Students should review their unit profiles to learn about any specific technology requirements for their coursework.
Group and Teamwork
One of the learning outcomes for this course is for students to be able to communicate effectively through a variety of approaches, individually and in collaboration with others. This learning outcome aligns with the foundational competencies we are required to develop in students as an APAC- accredited 3-year program in psychology. As such, students in this course will be required to demonstrate interpersonal skills and teamwork through assessment tasks that involve working in pairs or small groups with other students.
Students should review their unit profiles to learn about specific assessment requirements in each unit.
