The course provides an opportunity for graduates with a three-year accredited sequence in psychology to gain an accredited fourth year in psychology. Under current registration requirements, this will allow them to begin the process of professional registration as a psychologist. The program of study includes seminars on professional issues, as well as components on ethics and history, and reading courses on advanced theoretical topics. Students also write an individual research report based on a supervised group research project.
The course is specifically designed to provide a fourth year program in psychology for graduates with sufficient grades from the Bachelor of Psychological Science. It is open to qualified graduates in other degrees however places are extremely limited and may be offered on a part-time basis only.
