Bachelor of Psychological Science, Bachelor of Business

Interested in business and psychology and a career that might include both? This double degree combines two dynamic and fascinating areas of study, developing a diverse skill set with accredited specialisations and career flexibility.

In addition to completing studies in psychological science and human behaviour, students choose from either an accredited specialisation in Accounting or Financial Services or a major in Business and Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Tourism and Event Management, Aviation Management, Marketing or International Business.

There are numerous opportunities to gain practical experience through internships and work placements, either locally or abroad.

Career opportunities exist as business specialists with a profound understanding of psychological science, or in roles that require a thorough understanding of human psychology and how it relates to business such as organisational development, change management, marketing or entrepreneurship. The Bachelor of Psychological Science is the first step on a pathway to becoming a registered psychologist and graduates may also choose to further their studies in this direction with the knowledge they are well-equipped to run a business or manage a workplace.
