Psychology is concerned with the study of human behaviour and experience. People trained in Psychology work in a wide variety of areas in health, education, industry, commerce, welfare and government.
Psychology has been a part of a tradition of academic excellence and research achievement at the University of Melbourne since the late 1800s. The Department of Psychology was formally established in 1946. The Department is now within the School of Behavioural Science, which is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Health Sciences. It is one of the largest departments of psychology in the country.
The Department of Psychology undergraduate program has been designed to incorporate students' needs of flexibility and choice in coursework areas and offers a broad range of subjects aimed at providing a thorough and extensive grounding in the discipline.
To be able to practise as a psychologist in Victoria, registration is required with the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria. To register with the Board, an accredited four-year sequence in Psychology followed by either two years of postgraduate training or supervised experience is required.
