Bachelor of Creative Arts / Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology)

About the course

This double degree combines creative arts practice with behavioural science (psychology), building creative expression alongside critical and cultural literacy and psychological insight. You’ll complete two separate degrees in four years full-time, choose a creative arts major, and develop research-informed skills for real-world contexts. The course emphasises practical experience through industry settings and public events as a Bachelor-level pathway spanning creative industries and psychology.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue roles across creative industries and health/community contexts, using psychological understanding to inform creative work and program design. Career directions may include creative practitioner roles (e.g., arts and media projects, writing, screen, performance, visual arts) and positions supporting wellbeing initiatives in organisations and communities. This Bachelor double degree also provides an early step toward future study and registration pathways in psychology.
