A double degree in Business and Psychology enhances the professional preparation and alternative employment options of both HR practitioners and Psychologists.  Graduates gain a basic qualification in Psychology that can lead to further study in Psychology and possible registration with the Australian Psychological Society, and a degree in HRM, allowing them to register with relevant professional bodies such as the Australian Human Resources Institute.  This combination will improve graduates' competitiveness in both fields.
