The Future of Psychology unit is a forward-looking component of a psychology bachelor’s degree that explores emerging trends, innovations, and challenges shaping the discipline.
This unit examines the integration of technology, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and brain-computer interfaces, into psychological research and practice.
It highlights interdisciplinary approaches, the globalisation of psychological science, and the role of psychology in addressing complex societal challenges like climate change, mental health disparities, and post-pandemic recovery.
Students will critically evaluate ethical considerations, cultural perspectives, and the implications of new methodologies, gaining insights into the evolving nature of psychology and its expanding impact on individuals, communities, and societies.
