Psychology is the study of human behaviour and mental processes. At Murdoch, we teach the established basis of psychological knowledge and methods integrated with the latest developments in the field. Psychology encompasses many aspects of human behaviour from individual
differences in personality and intelligence, to emotions, motivations, memory, thought processes and interpersonal relationships. Psychology is also an applied discipline, aligned to a professional career as a 'psychologist'. A degree in psychology equips students with broad theoretical and practical knowledge of psychology as well as job-ready skills in analysis, writing, research, communication, and teamwork.
