Overview

This program is available to applicants with a major study in Psychology. Because the APS reserves the name 'Masters' for 5th and 6th year courses, this course is not accredited by the Australian Psychological Society. It is thus not suitable for Australian students who intend to proceed further with APS accredited professional training. The program structure allows international students to tailor their studies to suit the requirements of the profession in their own countries.

Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge

A Bachelor degree with a major in Psychology of at least three years duration from a recognised tertiary institution or equivalent.

International students are required to have achieved an IELTS score of 6.5, with at least 6.0 in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
