Notes
DescriptionThe major in psychological studies includes a set of psychology units with an applied flavour. It is designed for students who wish to complete a major in psychology in conjunction with studies in a number of other areas such as science, social work, sociology, communications, management, marketing or education. At first-year level, the sequences provides a brief coverage of a wide range of human behaviours, including seeing and hearing, sleep and dreaming, learning, remembering, thinking, functioning of the brain and nervous system, language, social interactions, dealing with stress, abnormal behaviours and emotions, with more in-depth coverage of developmental topics. The second and third-year units are geared more towards the applied aspects of psychology. Note: Psychological studies is not accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). Those interested in undertaking APAC-accredited units should refer to 'psychology' entry at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/aos/arts-ug-psychology-arts.html.

Important information for pre-2005 Gippsland and off-campus studentsFrom 2005 the 'behavioural studies' programs offered at Gippsland campus and via off-campus learning were renamed 'psychological studies'. Students who commenced behavioural studies units prior to this change can complete their first-year sequence, minor or major (or complete later year electives) by undertaking the new psychological studies (PSS) units. Students who are unsure of which units to enrol in should contact the school regarding their options. Relevant CoursesDiplomas
