Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology) (Honours)

You’ll experience a range of learning environments - lectures, individual research, and group work. Lectures are used extensively in the program to communicate knowledge and guide student learning and are complemented by online learning materials where appropriate.

These methods and approaches have been selected so that you will be equipped to undertake postgraduate studies in psychology or have the skills required to adapt to and work competently in workplaces that value knowledge and training in psychology (e.g. human resources, psychosocial rehabilitation).

Graduates may either apply to enrol in a master-level degree or seek employment.

Human services organisations offer a lot of work opportunities.

Typically provisional psychologists work in education, human services and in community medicine supervised by experienced registered psychologists.

Professional recognition and accreditation

The program is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).

Graduates are eligible for associate membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and are eligible to apply for provisional registration allowing you to practise in any Australian state or territory.

To be eligible to apply for full registration as a psychologist, you must complete the Master of Clinical Psychology.

The Psychology Board of Australia's standards and guidelines determine that all applicants for registration need English language skills at IELTS academic level 7.0, or the equivalent, within the two years preceding registration.
