Overview Psychology is concerned with understanding human personality, behaviors, emotions, underlying mental processes and the factors that lead people to differ in the way they think and behave. In the Psychology major sequence you will be exposed to a contemporary integrative approach to psychology and human relationships, one that recognizes the importance of, and interrelationships between personality, culture, and cognition, as well as the psychological functions and dysfunctions that shape behavior in the real world. Professional recognition Deakin's undergraduate Psychology courses are recognized for registration by the Psychology Board of Australia (PBA), accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and enable you to undertake additional study in pursuit of professional registration. However, students who complete the 6-credit Psychology unit set who intend to pursue advanced training and registration to become psychologists must first take the following four additional credit points of psychology at undergraduate level: HPS201, HPS202, HPS205, and HPS301. The current requirements for registration as a provisional psychologist include the completion of four years of academic study of psychology that is recognized by the Psychology Board of Australia (PBA).
