Bachelor of Health Sciences / Bachelor of Science Conjoint - Psychology

The University of Auckland

The BHSc/BSc allows you to develop your interest and knowledge about the government's role in determining health policy, alongside how wealth systems function, and how biological and social bases of ill-health exist in our communities. Coupled with your passion for Science, the duality of the degree can provide fertile ground to delve deeper into these issues from the perspective of statistics, psychology or even environmental science. Enhance your BHSc with complementary courses in Science to enrich your skills and learning experience, and become a key player in the health sector. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country.Psychology is a fascinating and wide-ranging subject that varies from a scientific to more personal approach. Psychologists create theories based on data and the analysis of simple behaviour – from that observed in animals to the more complex verbal emotional responses of people. Psychology can be strongly theoretical or highly practical. Research in the School of Psychology is focused in areas such as social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, child development, learning, and psychological and developmental disabilities. Laboratory or field work is an important part of psychology, and you will develop practical skills in these areas.
