Course overview

Bachelor of Science (Psychology and Human Resource Management) (CRICOS course code 080702G) is a Bachelor Degree delivered by Curtin University over 4 years. This AQF Level 7 program sits within the field of Society and Culture (0907 - Behavioural Science - Psychology).

Graduates may pursue careers in HR consultancy, people analytics, or workplace relations. As with all CRICOS-registered courses, international students benefit from ESOS Act protections, ensuring quality standards and tuition fee safeguards.

What you'll study

This degree combines core psychology units with specialised human resource management subjects. Students typically learn about psychological assessment, motivation, and behaviour in the workplace, alongside HR functions like workforce planning, employment law, and strategic HRM. The curriculum is designed to develop critical thinking, research skills, and ethical decision-making. While specific units are set by Curtin University, graduates at this level gain a broad understanding of human behaviour and organisational systems — essential for managing diverse teams in globalised work environments. Practical projects and case studies often complement theoretical learning.

Duration and study mode

The course duration is 4 years (208 weeks) as recorded on the CRICOS register. Instruction is in English, and the program leads to a single qualification (no dual award). Full-time study is typical, but part-time options may be available for eligible students. As a bachelor degree, it requires a significant time commitment; however, studying at Curtin's Bentley campus offers access to libraries, study spaces, and student support services.
