K34 Bachelor of Business Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)

This double degree combination enhances the professional preparation and career options of both Human Resource Management (HRM) practitioners and Psychologists.
Students gain a qualification in HRM, allowing them to register with relevant professional bodies, such as the Australian Human Resources Institute, and a qualification in Psychology that equips them with skills in analysing, researching and explaining interactions between people and their environment. This can lead to further study in Psychology and possible registration with the Australian Psychological Society.
Students also gain practical experience and transferable employability skills, including leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, communication and problem solving, to improve their competitiveness in both fields.
