Bachelor of Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and experience, the physiological and cognitive processes that underlie it, and the profession that applies this knowledge to practical problems. Psychologists help us to understand who we are and how we think, feel and act. They aim to help people function better, and to prevent ill-health and other problems developing. Psychologists' clients include children, adults, couples, families and organisations.

The Bachelor of Psychology offered by the University of Wollongong is a four year undergraduate Honours degree accredited by the Australian Psychological Society (APS). The Bachelor of Psychology is a route to Postgraduate course work or research degrees in Psychology. It is also a partial qualification for registration as a Psychologist with the Psychologist's Registration Board of New South Wales, a post degree supervision period also being required.

Admission Requirements

All applicants for the Bachelor of Psychology must apply through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC). Higher School Certificate students will automatically receive a guide and application form from UAC.

For HSC students, admission is based on the University Admission Index (UAI) calculated from HSC results. It is not possible to estimate the UAI cutoff in advance as marks fluctuate from year to year depending on the number and standard of applicants.

Mature age applicants, if suitable, will be contacted by the University when their application is received and processed.
