We provide high quality teaching across an exciting curriculum which meets the requirements of the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria (PRBV) and the Australian Psychological Society Ltd at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

Our Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology) and Bachelor of Psychology degrees offer a pathway to further studies in psychology, but a major in psychology can also be incorporated into other awards (e.g. Arts, Commerce, Environmental Science, Health Sciences). The Bachelor of Applied Science (or Graduate Diploma of Psychological Studies, or major in another award) can lead to a 4th year degree - either Honours or the Graduate Diploma of Psychology, and these, in turn, lead to a Master or Doctoral degree.

These postgraduate degrees can be selected from our professional programs, e.g.,

Master of Psychology (Industrial & Organisational)
Master of Psychology (Clinical)
Doctor of Psychology (Clinical)
Doctor of Psychology (Health)
Doctor of Psychology (Forensic)

or higher degrees by research:

Master or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

The choice is wide: the options are yours.

Please join us for an exciting study and career program, informed by staff with specialist skills developed by their work with outside agencies, their research and community involvement.
