M33 Bachelor of Business (Human Resource Management)/Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)

A double degree in Business and Psychology enhances the professional preparation and alternative employment options of both HR practitioners and Psychologists.

This combination will improve graduates’ competitiveness in both fields.
