Bachelor of Psychology / Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology (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: Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the study of the effects of drugs on living organisms, where the term 'drug' can be defined as a chemical substance, natural or synthetic, which affects a biological system.

Knowledge of pharmacology and its associated concepts is fundamental to the safe and effective use of medicines by health professionals. It's also essential for the identification of new therapeutic targets and their pharmacological modulation, and can lead to increased understanding of human physiology.

An understanding of the way in which drugs produce their effects is becoming increasingly important as the use and abuse of drugs becomes more widespread in society.

 

Pharmacology at Monash provides students with an understanding of the major pharmacological concepts and how they can be applied to the development and use of drugs in the treatment of specific diseases.

A range of teaching modes is used to provide you with opportunities to learn how a wide variety of chemicals and drugs produce their effects on living organisms, and to apply this knowledge to critically evaluate information relating to drugs.
