We believe the ability to understand, predict and explain human behaviour is integral to improving lives in today’s society. That’s why we offer psychology courses at Swinburne.
Our Psychology courses take you on an exploration into human behaviour. Together, we uncover the secrets to the human brain in order to understand what motivates actions and behaviours. We also place an emphasis on social groups and interactions. In addition to theory, you will gain practical skills to prepare you for a rewarding career that can improve the lives of others.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have the confidence and skills to apply your wisdom to the workplace. Graduates of APAC accredited programs will also have completed the necessary accreditation placements for registration.
A psychology course doesn’t limit you to clinical and counselling roles: in addition to clinical practice and counselling, future careers can also be found in human resources, marketing, journalism and policy development.
We think it’s an experience that makes the adventure worth taking.
Come, see for yourself.
