Bachelor of Psychological Science

No, this degree alone will not qualify you to be a practicing psychologist. The Bachelor of Psychological Science provides comprehensive, foundational knowledge in the processes basic to human psychological functioning and is accredited as the first three years of study. To meet the academic requirements for eligibility for provisional registration as a psychologist, you must also complete an Honours year. An additional two years of education and training is then necessary to apply for general registration, either through a fifth year at university plus one year of supervised practice in the community, or an approved postgraduate degree accredited at the fifth and sixth year level.

Students can choose from the following majors: Criminology, Human Resource Management, Indigenous Studies, Management, Marketing, Philosophy, and Sociology. Double degree options are also available, including Bachelor of Psychological Science - Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Psychological Science - Bachelor of Business, and Bachelor of Psychological Science - Bachelor of Social Science.

The minimum score for guaranteed entry is a Selection Rank of 75. Your Selection Rank is your ATAR or IB Combined Rank plus any adjustments you are eligible to receive. Adjustments can be based on factors such as the subjects you are studying, the location of your school, or your eligibility for equity and access schemes.
