Notes
DescriptionPsychology is concerned with a wide range of phenomena including remembering and forgetting, thinking, problem-solving, learning, the acquisition of skills, language, seeing and hearing, decision-making, verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and emotions. It is also concerned with the practical and ethical applications of psychology research to the profession. While the major focus is on people, animals are also studied because they are of interest in their own right. Monash undergraduate psychology embraces all of these topics at each of the campuses. Students may complete single units, a major or minor in psychology towards the core arts component of their Bachelor of Arts degree or associated double degrees. For their major, students choose to study either the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited major (10 units) which also leads to honours or postgraduate studies in psychology, or a standard humanities major of eight units.
