Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours
Course Overview
The one-year Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours adds to the skills and knowledge acquired during the Bachelor degree, and moves students closer to a career as a registered psychologist. Students learn pre-professional skills in psychology, such as interview and counselling skills, culturally responsive and ethical practice in psychology, basic assessment strategies in psychology and psychometric theory, and how to apply evidence-based psychology interventions across different settings. With the guidance and support of our academics, students focus on a research project in psychology and thus grow their understanding of research methodologies and data analysis. Psychology honours completed after a three-year accredited sequence of study in psychology is the minimum qualification required to apply for provisional registration as a psychologist in Australia. It is also required training to apply for postgraduate programs, including postgraduate research programs.
