About this program

The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) - Bachelor of Business at the University of Wollongong is an interdisciplinary double degree that blends the study of human behaviour with foundational and advanced knowledge in business. Over 4.5 years of full-time study, students gain a deep understanding of psychological theories, cognitive processes, and research methods, while developing essential business skills in areas such as management, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship.

The Australian undergraduate degree structure consists of a series of core and elective units of study, each contributing credit points toward the total required for graduation. Students typically progress through foundational subjects before choosing elective units aligned with their interests and career goals. Capstone experiences, which may include research projects or integrative industry-focused tasks, are commonly included to consolidate learning. The course is designed to provide flexibility, allowing students to specialise in areas that suit their aspirations, and may offer opportunities for work-integrated learning or business internships aligned with Australian industry needs.

Throughout the course, students develop key skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication, data analysis, and ethical reasoning. You will become adept in both interpreting human behaviour and applying business strategies, a valuable combination sought after across many sectors. The programme is particularly suited to students wishing to broaden their career options, whether they seek roles in corporate, community, or human services settings, or wish to pursue further study in psychology or business.

As a public higher education provider, the University of Wollongong has strong links with local industries, government bodies, and research institutions in Australia. International students on a valid Student visa may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and could be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation.
