Bachelor of Psychology / Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Genomics (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Psychology component of your double degree is designed for those who wish to study psychology and understand the complexities of human behaviour and the biological, psychological and social factors that contribute to individual group and community processes. You will learn about how psychological, social and personality factors influence thinking and behaviour as well as how interventions can be applied to help people lead more satisfying and meaningful lives. This course is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). Your studies will enable you to pursue a career in a diverse range of fields including research, mental health and welfare, human resources, community services and counselling, education and health services. You could also undertake further steps to qualify to practice as a professional psychologist or pursue a career in counselling, welfare, social work, human resources, marketing or research.

The Bachelor of Science course will provide you with a broad, general science education, as well as specialist training in one or more science disciplines. The flexibility of the course and the wide range of majors and minors will allow you to explore new areas, further develop your strengths in science, and pursue your interests beyond the area in which you specialise. You will receive training in generic competencies - critical thinking, problem solving, quantitative and information literacy, communication and presentation skills, and the capacity to work in teams - and will develop knowledge and skills in at least one science discipline. This will ensure that you have a firm foundation for a career in science or in allied fields where scientific understanding and skills are central.

The Bachelor of Psychology and Science is designed for those with a passion for understanding human thoughts, feelings and behaviour, providing you with a comprehensive education in human psychology.

Through the duration of the course, you will build a strong foundational understanding of the core areas of psychology and equip yourself with the skills that will enable you to pursue diverse pathways into research, mental health and wellbeing, human resources, community services, counselling, education, and health services.


Major: Genetics and genomics
Genetics is the study of genes, their structure, function, transmission and evolution, and encompasses a rich and diverse range of research topics.Genetics lies at the centre of biology because the same basic genetic principles apply to microbes, plants, animals and humans. The genetic code provides the blueprint for life and every aspect of biology, from development, physiology and biochemistry through to behaviour and ecology and diseases such as cancer, is ultimately controlled by the products of genes and their interaction with the physical environment.

Genomics, enabled by dramatic recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies and computing power, allows researchers to expand their vision from a few genes to all of the thousands of genes that govern the lives of each organism. The ability to compare the genomes of different species and assess variation between individuals of the same species is revolutionising our capacity to dissect evolutionary processes and map the complex gene networks that control every aspect of biology.

Genetics and genomics underpin many exciting areas of science such as biomedical science, biotechnology, conservation biology, and forensics.Graduates with a major in Genetics and genomics find employment in medical and agricultural research institutes, hospitals, government departments,schools and universities, patent firms, genetic counselling services,forensics laboratories, and biotechnology companies.
