Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) - Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) – Bachelor of Business at the University of Wollongong is a comprehensive double degree designed to equip students with expertise in both psychological science and core business principles. The integrated program develops your understanding of human behaviour, cognition, and emotion alongside vital business areas such as management, marketing, and organisational strategy. Across the 5.5 years of full-time study, you will engage in a range of units of study, accumulating credit points according to Australian standards.

This qualification is structured according to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as a bachelor honours degree. You will typically complete foundational and advanced units from both disciplines, culminating in a research-based honours year focused on psychology. The capstone honours thesis allows you to undertake independent research under academic supervision, developing critical thinking, research methodology and data analysis skills. Where relevant, work-integrated learning opportunities can enhance your workplace readiness, particularly in business streams.

Throughout your studies, you will gain a blend of practical and theoretical skills, including psychological assessment, statistical analysis, evidence-based research, leadership, and enterprise management. The program is ideal for those who wish to combine a passion for understanding human behaviour with broad business acumen, enabling pathways into a variety of sectors. International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency, with an IELTS Academic score of 6.0–6.5 overall (or equivalent).

As a student at a leading Australian public university, you will benefit from links to industry, research opportunities and a vibrant campus life in Wollongong.
