can study psychology to gain insights into areas such as consumer behaviour or organizational behaviour. Psychology is such a broad area that its study encourages the ability to integrate data from disparate fields into a coherent picture.
To provide you with a greater understanding of the discipline and its career prospects, The Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences invites practitioners and prominent figures in the field to speak at various public lectures and seminars. You will benefit greatly through your interaction with these experienced professionals. In addition, you will get the opportunity to participate in research work as early as your first year, through the Research Experience Program, where you will learn first hand how research is conducted. There are also possibilities for you to participate in student exchange programs and Study Abroad schemes at the University.

The undergraduate program
In the undergraduate program, you may study psychology as a 125-point APAC accredited sequence offered in the:
• Bachelor of Arts • Bachelor of Science • Bachelor of Commerce
Psychology may also be studied as individual subjects offered in other undergraduate degrees.
The emphasis in the psychology major is on developing a wide understanding within psychology. The structure encompasses a sequential development of knowledge in areas of psychology through advanced units in third year. Research skills are introduced in the level one subjects and developed across level two and level three subjects, contributing to your broad education as well as giving you a depth of understanding for postgraduate studies.
The third year contains a capstone unit integrating key features of your earlier studies and the possibility of choosing a unit of applied study.
Linking psychology to your personal experiences and establishing a style of working together is the emphasis in year one. In the second year and in advanced studies in third year, the emphasis will be on the linking of knowledge to research,
both through the research-led teaching and through an emphasis on individual practical research experience for you. In other third-year level studies, such as the capstone study and the applied psychology subject, you will be able to work collaboratively, linking psychology to issues in contemporary society, informed by the research perspective you have developed.
