When you study psychology at ANU you will be exposed to topics as varied as how groups interact, vision and how it can be tricked to see what’s not really there, how the brain develops as a baby and how it changes as you get older, how impulses are carried from brain to muscle, and how things go wrong in abnormal psychology. The small class sizes will give you unfettered access to your psychology lecturers and ensure you get the most out of your degree. You’ll also hear from guest speakers who are psychology practitioners in both clinical and organisational psychology so you can put theory in to practice.

Students go on to forge successful careers in a range of fields and contexts, such as research, management consulting, human resources, marketing, social marketing and public relations, public policy, child development and welfare, health and human services, education, counselling and clinical practice. Our degree is the launch pad for all of these career paths.
