Program Overview

Overview

The Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) - Bachelor of Business is a comprehensive double degree that combines the scientific study of human behaviour and experience with practical, real-world experience in business. This degree provides students with a deep understanding of human behaviour and its impact on business, as well as the skills to apply this knowledge in a variety of contexts.

Careers

The study of psychology and business will allow students to better understand consumer and employee behaviour and utilise this knowledge to help influence decision-making and purchasing behaviours. Combining the study of human behaviour with business will help students to improve productivity, decision-making practices and workplace cultures. Studying psychology with business is ideal for those seeking a career in Human Resources, Marketing, Public Relations, or dispute mediation. This would also be suited to those seeking a career in organisational or workplace psychology, business development, management consultancy and business coaching.

Accreditation & Professional Recognition

The Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council and is required to apply for provisional registration as a psychologist in Australia. An additional two years of education and training is necessary to apply for general registration. This can be through a fifth year at University plus one year of supervised practice in the community or an approved postgraduate degree accredited at the fifth and sixth year level.

The University of Wollongong has been awarded with the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) accreditation. Being accredited by AACSB is public recognition that the university is among the world's top 6% of business schools - that the curriculum meets the highest standards, students learn from the best business minds, and that graduates have the highly sought-after skills, knowledge, and experience that today's global employers are looking for.
