Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours), BPsych (Hons)

Applicants must have successfully completed the Bachelor of Psychological Science or an equivalent program accredited with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC), with a minimum GPA of 5.0 (credit grade average) on a 7.0 point scale, calculated across all 2000 and 3000 level Psychology coded courses contributing to their APAC accredited degree (or equivalent). Applicants who have completed an APAC accredited Graduate Diploma must achieve a GPA of 5.0 across all units contributing to the Graduate Diploma. Entry is competitive and meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee that an applicant will be admitted to the program.

Whilst applicants may have achieved a grade point average to enable application to this program, an offer is not guaranteed due to a limited amount of places available. Applications will be ranked by academic merit.

All Applicants must demonstrate that they meet the University's English proficiency requirement. Further information regarding English language proficiency requirements can be found at the English Language Proficiency for Admission Policy here.

The IELTS requirement for admission to this program is 7.0 with no sub-test less than 7.0. Please be aware that the current standard English language competency for registration as a practitioner in your discipline in most states of Australia is IELTS 7.0.
