Changing disciplines There are two options available to graduates from other disciplines wishing to transfer and qualify as a psychologist at this University. 1. Enrol initially as a non-award (voluntary) student to complete only Psychology Level I, II and III courses. Tuition fees are set annually and must be paid upfront. (Click here for details of fees and non-award enrolment.) Having completed the prescribed* Psychology courses with an average of at least 70% across the Level II and III ones you would then enrol in a Bachelor of Science one-year full-time Honours degree. HECS fees are payable and these may be deferred. This option meets the requirements of four years of study in psychology towards becoming a member of the professional body, the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and for registration as a psychologist in New South Wales but only if you have already completed a first degree. 2. Enrol in another undergraduate degree where it is possible to complete four years of psychology. (Click here - for application procedures.) Based on courses completed in your previous degree(s) you may be given a certain amount of credit/exemption. Depending on exemptions granted you may still have to complete some non-psychology courses as well as the psychology ones. *Psychology 1A and 1B courses at Level I, Research Methods 2, Social and Developmental Psychology, Learning and Physiological Psychology, Perception and Cognition, and Assessment and Personality courses at Level II and Research Methods 3A and 3B and 4 Psychology elective courses at Level III. The School does not offer any tailor-made bachelor/diploma conversion degree programs as offered by some other universities. |
