The focus of this capstone unit is reflecting upon learning from the Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree, and applying the acquired discipline specific knowledge to a range of professional contexts. Students will reflect on the utility and outputs from their learning across their degree via review and finalisation of an e-portfolio. There will be a focus on the transition into the workforce or further study. In this unit, students will also complete an applied major group project to address a real-world issue, such as via a research proposal, intervention, or evaluation. Each group will work under the guidance of an academic advisor. The project will integrate discipline and professional knowledge and skills.
1. Demonstrate career-readiness, a clear professional identity, and insight into the skills, knowledge and personal attributes necessary to meet the standards of performance and practice expected by their profession;
2. Critically reflect on their learning and development of their skills throughout their course and consider their ongoing development into their professional lives;
3. Critically analyse the impact of individual actions on others in professional settings and the impact of the profession on society;
4. Synthesise high-level conceptual and practical understanding and psychological knowledge to develop useful solutions to real-world problems; and
