About
What makes people do the things they do? How does the mind work? How can you help others to lead their best lives? Studying Psychology at Western will help you develop knowledge and skills to understand and explain human behaviour and experience. You will have the option to include in your study program electives such as Digital Mental Health; Behaviour and Environment; Psychology, Crime and Law; and Positive Psychology. After the first three years of fundamentals of psychology you may progress to the 4th, honours year which further enhance your knowledge and skills and prepare you for a range of work opportunities or pathways to postgraduate studies in research or in professional training programs towards registration as a generalist or clinical psychologist.
