Online Psychology Degree :: Accredited Universities

CSU's Bachelor of Psychology is designed to meet the initial requirement of professional training in psychology.

Successful completion of this course will satisfy the minimum academic requirements for provisional registration as a Psychologist (two years of supervised experience or completion of a two-year accredited postgraduate degree would still be required).

The Bachelor of Psychology is a high-demand course and the ATAR (or equivalent) for entry is greater than that for the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology). Students who do not satisfy the entry requirement may enrol in the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) and then transfer to the Bachelor of Psychology at a later stage if their academic performance is good.

Psychology is concerned with the scientific understanding of human behaviour. It is both an academic discipline and a profession.

As an academic discipline, it comprises a body of knowledge about behaviour and mental process, and involves research to extend that knowledge. Psychology as a profession involves the application of psychological knowledge to solve social and behavioural problems and to promote human welfare.

It is important that minors and subjects are chosen in consultation with the Course Coordinator to ensure course requirements are met.

CSU is looking to expand its offerings of the Bachelor of Psychology to our Port Macquarie Campus in 2014.

Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. It is also the profession that applies the accumulated knowledge of this science to practical problems. Psychologists and their work can be classified into three general categories: Research Psychology, Applied Psychology, and Clinical/Counselling Psychology.
