Bachelor Programme
Psychology
The UTS Bachelor of Psychology covers the mind, brain and behaviour and is the first step toward becoming a registered psychologist in Australia. Students learn research methods and statistics, psychological assessment and mental health, applying psychology to issues such as climate change, misinformation, cybersecurity, ageing and human-computer interaction. Cultural responsiveness and Indigenous perspectives run through the course. It is accredited by APAC (with conditions) at Level 1, and strong students can apply for a fourth-year honours program, the next step on the path to registration.
