Build a people-focused career

Study Flinders’ Bachelor of Psychological Science, and you’ll open up a range of rich and rewarding career opportunities. Your degree could be the start of your journey to becoming a practising psychologist, or lead you towards a career in areas such as education, politics, business, sport, health or research.

Learn from internationally renowned researchers and explore topics covering brain function, autism, trauma, social justice, sleep disorders, learning and memory, and eating disorders.

We’ll help you ignite your passion for psychological science, while demonstrating its relevance for real-life and practice. Our goal is for students to become critical consumers of psychological research, capable scientist-practitioners and skilled researchers.
