Macquarie has always considered our students to be co-creators in their learning. One of the most exciting developments in our new curriculum is around your ability to study two degrees at once.

In this double degree, you will be able to combine:

• Bachelor of Business Administration: This degree will develop your skills in business, ethics, management, finance, economics, accounting, human resources, marketing and strategy – all key competencies you’ll need to succeed in today’s dynamic global business environment.

You’ll get exposure to a wide range of fundamental psychological concepts, as well as to more specialised areas such as child psychology, neuropsychology, social and personality psychology, health psychology, organisational psychology, cognition and perception, and psychopathology. It offers an excellent foundation if wish to pursue a career in psychology-related areas, or it can be undertaken as a pathway to postgraduate study in psychology, which will enable you to become a qualified psychologist.
