Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Bachelor of Psychology

The Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences – Australia’s only integrated undergraduate speech and hearing sciences degree – will position you to join a profession dedicated to unlocking the power of communication for others. The degree’s unique structure will equip you for a diverse range of postgraduate opportunities, including in speech pathology, audiology, linguistics, TESOL, editing and publishing, and speech and hearing research. And by providing a strong foundation in the science of language – processes, structure and acquisition – it will also open doors to extensive career opportunities immediately after graduation. Think: clinical administration, management or marketing; speech technology; language revitalisation in Indigenous communities; or language support for multicultural communities – to name a few. In the Bachelor of Psychology, you’ll build foundational skills through a set of core units before broadening your knowledge via one of three interdisciplinary majors in cognitive science, counselling or psychological science. Many of your teachers are psychologists who actively practice or consult with major organisations, such as the Australian Defence Force and elite sporting clubs. Their deep research expertise in areas such as mental health, cognition, behaviour, human experience and challenges across the lifespan ensures your learning is tied to real-world insight. When followed by an honours year, this degree is a pathway to postgraduate study, which will enable you to become a qualified psychologist.
