Students who graduate with a major in psychology have a wide range of career options beyond working as a counsellor or psychologist. UTAS psychology graduates have gone on to work in fields such as human resources, defence forces, health and legal agencies, and many other settings. And our research is just as varied – from working with expeditioners in the Antarctic, to communities in remote Australia; from learning how children develop language, to understanding how gaming influences behaviour. We work with organisations such as the department of health and police force, and with individuals, for example, people experiencing the effects of brain injury, substance addiction, or mental illness. Studying psychology at UTAS provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge to address issues relevant to regional, rural, and metropolitan societies at the local, national, and global level.
