Psychology

Psychology offers students a deep dive into psychological theory, research methods, and the development of critical and analytical thinking skills. In Australia, it’s predominantly pursued at the bachelor’s level, as a 4-year qualification is required to match the standards for Master’s programs. For those driven to gain personal insight and make a positive impact on others, a career in counselling presents a fulfilling and transformative path.
