The Bachelor of Behavioural Science is a unique program that combines elements of psychology, political science, cultural studies and sociology. Integrating specialised knowledge developed in these social science disciplines, and with a strong focus on critical psychology, the program forges a connection between traditional psychology and social work. You also have the option of choosing a Major from our extensive list (see below). During this program you will develop an understanding of your place and role in society as well as respect for social and cultural diversity. Embedded within the degree is a specific emphasis on the assumptions and practices that promote substantive reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. As a graduate, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to work with those who may be experiencing marginalisation or disadvantage. Depending on your particular specialisations and choice of subjects employment opportunities will be available in a wide variety of industries and fields including advertising, community development, social impact assessment, health promotion, and more. Work Integrated Learning: The Behavioural Science Internship forms a vital part of this degree and offers you the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge of your degree in a professional environment. The Internship requires that you complete a minimum of 90 hours within an organisation in conjunction with regular class contact. You may undertake specific projects or tasks, engage in directed research, facilitate groups, write reports and/or develop projects or program initiatives as part of your Internship. Behavioural Science can be completed as a stand-alone degree or studied as a Major within the Bachelor of Arts, or as a Second Major within a Bachelor of Communications & Media, Bachelor of Commerce, or Bachelor of Education. Behavioural Science is an ideal companion to such disciplines as Politics, Journalism, Sociology, Social Justice and History.
