Behavioural Science (Psychology)

Psychology is the systematic study of behaviour: how we learn, think and interact with others, what motivates our actions, and the role that personality and individual difference play in behaviour.

Recently we have witnessed a dramatic increase in interest in the use of scientific methods to resolve human problems, which occur in areas such as health, organisational settings, education and legal contexts. While psychology has played a central part in the development of knowledge about human behaviour, other disciplines have also played a significant role. Over the last few decades, the linkages between psychology and other related fields have grown.

The Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) is an innovative course developed to link psychology with other disciplines involved in the study of human behaviour and experience. This degree will enable you to combine psychology with studies in another area of interest.

You will acquire a breadth of knowledge and a repertoire of skills that will make you an effective communicator and problem solver – both vital for career professionals. These include interpersonal and listening skills, teamwork, negotiating skills, behavioural analysis of problems and the evaluation of options, oral presentation, report writing, research techniques, data analysis, and computer applications.

The course is accredited by the Australian Psychological Society through the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). If you wish to apply to register to practise as a psychologist in South Australia (as in most states) you must complete an Honours year in Psychology and either two years of supervised experience or a Master of Psychology degree or equivalent.

The School of Psychology is one of the largest at Flinders and is highly respected in its field in Australia. Our outstanding teaching and research achievements have been recognised formally in a number of internal and external reviews over the past decade.

This is accomplished through teaching, research, community service, demonstration, evaluation, and dissemination activities.

The Unit has a number of affiliated programs funded by the South Australian State Government (Office for Disability and Client Services), including the Disability Advisory Support Service (DASS) for people with an intellectual disability and the Up the Hill Project, which facilitates people with intellectual disabilities participating in the social and educational life of Flinders University.

Psychology (Honours)

Psychology is the science of the mind; the systematic study of behaviour.

It provides high-level training in both academic and professional areas and is one of a few courses in Australia designed to maximise the proportion of psychology topics that can be studied, while also providing a variety of elective options.
