If you\u2019re interested in becoming a psychologist, you need to do quite a bit of study including an undergraduate degree that is accredited by APAC (the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council). So as you\u2019re looking at courses, if there\u2019s any chance you\u2019d like to become a psychologist later, check that the ones you\u2019re looking at are accredited so that you\u2019re on the right path. 3:05 What is it that you like about psychology? Are you interested in the anatomy of the brain and the biology related to psychology, or do you look forward more to the topics related to human behaviour and mental illness? While all accredited courses will cover both, make sure the course you end up choosing gives you an opportunity to really focus on the areas of psychology you really like. 4:55 Other options to consider If you like psychology but you know you don\u2019t want to become a psychologist, there are other options you can consider. Behavioural science, counselling or marketing are good examples of these. I also mention two courses at Deakin that focus on marketing and human resources respectively from a psychology perspective, and they\u2019re also accredited so you can pursue further study in psychology later if you choose (see links below).
