Bachelor of Psychology (Counselling and Interpersonal Skills)

Great counsellors are a light in the dark. They help people navigate some of life’s most challenging experiences – the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, recovery from trauma or other significant life transitions. Our Bachelor of Psychology (Counselling and Interpersonal Skills) provides you with a foundational understanding of the broad ideas, principles, theories, and methods essential to psychology. The counselling and interpersonal skills focus helps you zoom in further, developing the knowledge, skills and qualities necessary to provide tailored support to people and communities. You’ll study a mix of courses covering developmental psychology, counselling and interpersonal skills, psychological theory, research methods and more. Practical learning is a key focus of this degree. Through hands-on community service activities and placements, you’ll gain valuable practical experience to help you prepare for the workforce. Being able to connect with and support people navigating a range of circumstances are key skills for a range of people-focused sectors including education, human resources, family services, crisis intervention, career coaching or community development organisations.
