REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCEDuring your studies, you’ll have opportunities to

develop your networks, meet industry professionals and immediately apply your learnings to real-world environments. Complete fieldwork or a placement

in a domestic or international setting, or collaborate with industry on cutting-edge research activities.

Postgraduate students can also gain practical clinical experience in our on-campus Psychology Clinic, where you’ll treat real patients under the supervision of fully

qualified clinical psychologists and gain hands-on experience across a range of therapeutic skills.

STUDY A UNIQUE DEGREE We offer South Australia’s only degree in cognitive

neuroscience, as well as unique degrees that specialise in ageing and disability, and counselling

and interpersonal skills. Working alongside experienced practitioners and academics, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills to empower others, solve complex problems, and meet the

wellbeing needs of individuals, families and carers across a range of sectors.

INDIGENOUS EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS

We have partnered with SYC’s youth services division, HYPA (Helping Young People Achieve),

to develop an employment pathway initiative for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who

are studying psychology, human services and social work. Students will be engaged in paid work while they study, with the possibility of continuing

employment after graduation.

New window to the soul It’s often said that the eyes are the window to the soul, revealing our thoughts and feelings. Now, new research reveals that your eyes may also be an indicator of your personality type, simply by the way they move.

A study by UniSA researchers in collaboration with international partners uses state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms to demonstrate a link between personality and eye movements, with findings showing that eye movement can reveal whether people are sociable, conscientious, or curious.

The study delivers important insights for social robotics, and its findings could help to improve interaction between humans and machines, making robots and computers more natural and better at interpreting human social signals.

With automation in customer service industries on the rise, in the future these findings could lead to improved personalised services and more authentic interactions with machines.

DOUBLE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Enhance your career opportunities with a double degree. Combine your psychology

qualification with a second discipline in law, human resource management, exercise and sports science, or human

movement. Examine human behaviour and its application in different contexts and

environments, and focus your studies on your interests and career goals.

ENGAGE IN GROUND-BREAKING

RESEARCH The Behaviour Brain Body Research

Centre, based at Magill Campus, combines expertise in sleep, nutrition, and activity, and works to understand

their combined impact on people across the lifespan. Researchers

work collaboratively on projects that investigate a diverse range of topics,

including the effects of sleep on human performance; cognitive decline

and predicant dementia; and fatigue management and minimising risk with shift workers. You can get involved and gain valuable practical experience by participating in research studies and

projects during your degree.

CENTRE FOR COGNITIVE AND SYSTEMS NEUROSCIENCE / A research

and learning centre focused on cutting-edge research exploring the human brain and behaviour to help

improve cognitive health and human performance across the lifespan.

SOCIAL WORK STUDIOS / Designed to simulate a professional environment,

the studios are used to practice real life counselling scenarios and are equipped with the latest video recording equipment and one-way

mirrors so students can observe and provide peer feedback.

“My aim is to empower students to think critically and be able to solve problems independently. I am passionate about

understanding how the human brain processes language

and its links to neurobiology and the basic mechanisms for interpreting information. It’s important for students to find what they are most interested in and to explore new knowledge and findings in their chosen field.”
