Want to understand people, and how they behave and think? The Psychology major in the Bachelor of Science prepares you for a career as a research scientist.
Study psychology to gain a better understanding of how people behave and think. In today’s workplaces, understanding people is a substantial advantage, regardless of your career. You can study psychology as a single major or as a double major with any other science subject.
Modern psychology is theoretical and experimental in nature, and current knowledge is based on observable and repeatable behavioural data. This can include counts of behaviours in animals and humans, and verbal accounts about emotions. That’s why the Psychology major includes practical work in laboratories or the field.
In your final year you can enrol in the Research Project course (30 points) if you have at least a B grade average in 60 points at level 6. This may involve working on a project related to your major.
Institutes and employer organisations involved include: airways, Auckland Council, Defence Technology Agency, Department of Conservation, Employment Relations Authority, Ministry of Transport, New Zealand Transport Agency, WorkSafe.
