Psychological Studies

What we’re talking about:

As well as discussing the Bachelor of Psychological Studies, Chloe and I chat about some different ways of working out what you’d like to do when you finish school, how SACs work and what you need to do to “pass”, and the VU block model of learning.

How your normal life can help you see what careers you might pursue

Chloe reveals that she was interested in tv shows like CSI and Bones and initially thought she might do Forensic Pathology. While she did change her mind, it’s easy to see the link between her current career path and her interest in those shows. Also, by following her interests in choosing her VCE subjects, Chloe realised it actually wasn’t what she wanted to do, which in reality is just as important.

How SACs work in VCE

Chloe takes us through the process of resitting a SAC when you need to, and we discuss what you actually need to do to “pass” a SAC.

The Victoria University Block Model

Chloe really clearly explains the benefits of the VU block model, including focusing on one subject at a time over a 4 week block, smaller class sizes and greater accountability.

The Bachelor of Psychological Studies

We talk about the opportunities available within this degree, the difference between this course and the Bachelor of Psychology, and the careers it can lead to. We also chat about what it means when a course is accredited.
