Bachelor of Arts (Population Health and Psychology)
Population Health and Psychology
The double major in Population Health and Psychology consists
of a minimum of 144 credit points, which comprises all of
the subjects in each of the individual majors. If students
wish to undertake honours in Psychology at the end of the
double major degree, additional subjects are required. Students
should consult the information on Honours in the entry for
the Psychology major.
The double major in Population Health and Psychology enables
students to pursue two options for their career or further
study. Students may progress to advanced level study such
as honours or postgraduate courses in either field. In addition,
the combination of majors will enable graduates to apply for
jobs in specialist areas of population health, such as lifestyle
counselling or conducting lifestyle management programs.
