Overview

As an evidence-based discipline, psychological research forms the foundation for the development and evaluation of interventions to address issues that impact on the health and wellbeing of all people. Psychologists can inform state and federal policy makers, and assist individuals, groups and communities through the application of psychological theory and scientific principles within a context of culturally sensitive communication and consultation.

The aim of this course is to further develop students' interpersonal communication skills, with a view to applying psychological perspectives to various current issues faced by contemporary Australians. Students will use research evidence to critically evaluate psychological theories in order to gain a greater understanding of current societal issues, and to develop suitable evidence-based interventions that are ethically sound, consistent with theory, and sensitive to diversity issues in 21st century Australian society such as culture, gender, age, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic status.

BPSH students must have completed the first 3 years with a GPA of 5.0 across levels 1 to 3 psychology courses. These students will have to be manually enrolled.
