Hi I am a current Year 12 student wanting to pursue a career in forensic psychology and I am stuck between completing psychology at Deakin or RMIT. If I were to go to RMIT, I am hoping to get into their bachelor of criminology and psychology wheras if I were to go to Deakin, I am hoping to complete their bachelor of psychology (honours). I am unsure for which university I would prefer as I can see positives for both of them. Below I have included some positives for both of the universities.
RMIT
- Can complete criminology and psychology within three years
- Quicker to travel to
- Has programs inside of their University such as the Inside Out Program
Deakin
- Can choose to major in forensic psychology in my third year
- Better known for psychology
If anyone has any recommendations or have completed either of these courses please comment them below. Thank you in advance.
ALSO. My backup option if I do not meet the required ATAR for the above courses is to do a bachelor of applied science (psychology) at RMIT. If anyone has also completed this course please comment your thoughts and experiences.
