Bachelor of Psychology and Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Psychology and Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Psychology and Bachelor of Science double degree equips you with a strong scientific foundation while exploring the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape human behavior. This combination allows you to develop expertise in both psychology and a science discipline of your choice.
- Neuroscience
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Public health stream
Combine your psychology passion with up to two of 24 science areas (e.g. one major and one minor). You are unable to select the Psychology major as this content is already covered within the psychology component of your double degree.
You could combine your passion for Psychology with Physiology to explore the biological and physiological aspects of mental health, opening career opportunities in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and mental health research. Alternatively, combining Psychology with Mathematics could lead to roles in cognitive modelling and data analysis, where you apply mathematical techniques to better understand brain function and human behaviour.
Please note, if you intend on pursuing Graduate Entry Medicine, there are a limited number of majors you choose. Please consult Monash Connect for assistance.
