Bachelor of Psychology

B.Psych.

(Please consult the Faculty Prospectus for references below.)

FIRST AND SECOND YEAR LEVELS

First year students can normally not register for the B.Psych. programme: Students who intend to graduate with a B.Psych. degree are required to initially register for a Bachelor’s degree programme that allows them to study Psychology at the first and second year levels (e.g. the B.A. programme). During their second year of study in a Bachelor’s degree programme, students may apply for admission to the B.Psych. programme from the third year level onwards. Places in the programme are limited and are awarded on the basis of academic merit and after successful completion of a selection process at the end of students’ second year of study. Refer to section E6 in the Faculty Prospectus.
