In the Bachelor of Science (Psychology) programme, students will be armed with the scientific study of human behaviour and experience, the physiological, sensory and cognitive processes that underlie it, and the application of knowledge to practical problems. Students are introduced to the whole field of the discipline, from personality to social influences on behaviour; from biological bases of behaviour to cognitive process; and from psychopathology to perceptual processes. Psychologists help us to understand who we are and how we think, feel, act and change. They aim to help people function better, and to prevent ill-health and other problems from developing. The 3-year programme is offered on a full-time basis and it is conducted entirely in Singapore with the University of Wollongong’s (UOW) academics teaching into the final year. Psychology staff at UOW are actively engaged in research and they publish their work in the leading psychology and health-related journals of the world. They are therefore well-equipped to illustrate basic concepts with their own unique research experiences, thereby maximising the student’s learning experience.

Our graduates are employed in a range of settings including professional practice, academia, school teaching, school counselling, marketing, the public service, and research positions in a wide range of organisations as well as other Research Institutes.
