However, students completing a double major in Psychology and Writing or Psychology and English will complete 16 units of Psychology and eight units of English or Writing. Details of the core units are listed below. The completion of these double majors will be reflected on students' testamur and academic transcript.
The Children and Family Studies Major is an option for students with an interest in working in Children's Services. This Major is accredited in Western Australia and New South Wales for employment in childcare/children's services. It includes a set of practica delivered through TAFE which require up-front fees - holders of a Health Care Card are entitled to discounts on TAFE fees.
Students studying a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) may choose a Minor, or Supporting Major, from Health and Human Science areas, Social Sciences, Arts or Business. Psychology, with its focus on human behaviour, is ideally suited for study in combination with many other disciplines. There are now psychological specialisations in areas such as Clinical, Forensic and Community, all of which are offered at Master degree level. Psychology also fits well with disciplines such as Philosophy, and has applications in emerging areas such as Marketing, Leisure, and Tourism. Students majoring in Psychology may wish to discuss their Minor and Elective program with the Course Coordinator or Student Support Officer.
