About this program
The Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) is a three-year, 24-course degree (CRICOS 110837F) offered at the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay campuses. The Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) has accredited it as a three-year undergraduate sequence in psychology.
Students study how people develop across the lifespan, motivation, personality and behaviour change, and cover cognitive, social, perceptual, physiological, intercultural, Indigenous and abnormal psychology. Electives allow specialisation in other health science areas, and students may work as research assistants. Becoming a registered psychologist in Australia requires an accredited honours year plus further accredited postgraduate study, so this degree is the first step on that path rather than a full qualification. UniSC lists graduate roles in community work, disability support, health and education services, human resources, research, and training and development.
