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.
