About the course

As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries.

　　With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you beyond the lecture theatre with hands-on laboratories, field trips, and summer scholarship opportunities.

　　Study the science behind our brains and our behavior. Gain insights into why people think, act and feel the way they do. Examine social behaviour, emotion, personality and motivation. You'll learn about perception—how our brains can tell red from blue or hot from cold—and discover the way we store and retrieve memories. Learn how psychological research is carried out, and how to use statistics to analyse findings in lab experiments. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
