The entry requirements for admission to the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)(Honours) are:

  • completion of an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC)-accredited qualifying psychology degree within the last 10 years. The qualifying degree may be: I. a three year undergraduate psychology degree (or first three years of an accredited four year degree); or II. a Graduate Diploma in psychology for applicants who completed an undergraduate degree in a different discipline; and

  • a minimum Credit average in second and third year psychology courses / graduate diploma psychology courses. There is a limited number of honours places available. Selection will be based on applicants’ order of merit on second and third year psychology courses / graduate diploma psychology courses. Thus, a higher than minimum GPA may be required to be offered a place.

 

For entry into most USC undergraduate degree programs, you need to have completed a minimum level of education similar to successful completion of Australian Year 12 with good grades.
 

Further studies, for example, a semester or more at college or university, can also be considered for entry and may give you credit transfer towards a degree.
