Overview

Bachelor of Psychology (Honours)

If you are keen to work as a psychologist, this degree at Griffith will give you a thorough grounding in clinical, developmental, biological, cognitive, social and organisational psychology.

You will learn to use interpersonal skills and counselling principles to help people with personal, health, vocational and social difficulties.

You will also learn to apply psychological theories to thinking, perceiving, motivation, stress, health, and criminal activity.

In the fourth year, you will begin formal research training and be introduced to professional psychological practice. 

You will complete an honours research project and study four core courses. 

You will need to achieve the required level of academic performance in the earlier years of the degree to be eligible for the fourth year of study.

You will have the opportunity to put your academic studies into practice through a professional practice placement.
