If you have completed a degree in another field, and wish to pursue a career in psychology, the Bachelor of Science (Psychology) may be for you.

In order to be eligible to apply for provisional registration as a psychologist, you are required to complete a four year psychology degree or equivalent. The Bachelor of Science (Psychology) is designed to allow you to complete the equivalent of the first three years of this requirement. Upon completion, you will then be eligible to apply to enter our Graduate Diploma of Psychology Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology to complete the fourth year of study required.

You are also eligible to apply for recognition of prior learning, in which case you will only be required to complete only 12 core psychology courses; shortening the time it will take you to complete this degree.

The Bachelor of Science (Psychology) will equip you with a broad range of theoretical perspectives, designed to enhance your knowledge surrounding the discipline of psychology and its applications. During this program you will also enhance your research skills with focus placed on the various methodologies and statistical techniques adopted by researchers already within the profession. The ability to apply theoretical knowledge when undertaking research activities will provide you with the opportunity to either continue with further study to become a registered psychologist or commence in a career that requires and utilises an in depth understanding of human behaviour.

At CQUniversity, our staff will provide you with a high-quality learning experience through the use of both innovative and technologically advanced teaching strategies. These methods will be adopted for both on-campus and distance education students. As a distance student, you will benefit from access to dedicated tutors and Distance Education Study Centres located in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
