For those with a passion for understanding and helping people.
If you want to study psychology and understand the complexities of human behaviour and the biological, psychological and social factors that contribute to individual, group and community processes, this course is for you.
Over the course of this degree, you will explore the complex biopsychosocial factors that influence human behaviour, gain exposure to evidence-based and culturally informed approaches, and develop your understanding of scientific methodology and its application in psychology.
Your required study includes a core sequence of psychology units and the opportunity to complete a major stream of study in mental health and wellbeing or one of our applied psychology streams. This knowledge will lay the groundwork for you to make your own scientific discoveries, help to promote mental health, and to influence how those in the community think about mental health.

I visited Monash before I graduated high school and ever since then, I was determined to study here because I thought the campus had a very comfortable atmosphere and that it would be a great place to start my life as a university student.
When I graduate, I’ d like to become a certified counselor and make the world a better place for people who may be struggling mentally. I want to raise more awareness in my home country, Indonesia, about mental health and remove the stigma around counselling.”
