Current Information and Announcements
 

• Important Information for Future Fourth Year Applicants
  The School of Psychology is currently revising its psychology 4th year program.  From the 2013 intake onwards, it is highly likely that we will cease to accept applications for entry into the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology course.  There is likely to be an increase in the number of places offered for entry into the psychology honours program.  UOW psychology students who will be in their third year in 2012 and who wish to seek entry into 4th year in 2013 are advised to undertake PSYC348 History and Metatheory of Psychology and PSYC354 Design and Analysis.
  
  
• 2012 4th Year Thesis Project Topics – This link contains the list of 2012 project topics submitted by School of Psychology staff members for PSYC410 (Honours Empirical Thesis), PSYC479/GHMC979 (Major Research Project), and PSYC414 (Honours Theoretical Thesis).  This project list is relevant to students who will be in their thesis year in 2012 only.  It is not applicable to students who will not commence their thesis research subject until 2013 (i.e., part-time students and those commencing 4th year in Spring 2012).
  
   
• 2012 4th Year Thesis Project Allocations – The allocation of students to 2012  PSYC410 Honours Empirical Thesis Projects [pdf 77kb] and PSYC479/GHMC979 Major Research Projects [pdf 39kb] has been finalised. Students are expected to contact the primary supervisor for their assigned project ASAP. Please refer to the 2012 4th year Thesis Project Topics list for contact details of project supervisors.
  
  

  Please note that due to a very recent personnel change within the School of Psychology, the projects originally proposed by Joseph Ciarrochi can no longer be assigned to students.  For students who nominated project topic JC-H1 and/or JC-HP2, every attempt has been made to accommodate their next most highly ranked preferences.
   

• Apply for 4th Year - Applications now CLOSED for 2012 4th year entry for students intending to start in Autumn Session OR mid-year 2012.  Note that there is only one round of applications each year.  Applications for 2013 entry are due on 31 October 2012.
  
   
• Graduating with a BA or BSc and proceeding to Honours
  Students are able to graduate with both BA & BA Hons and BSc & BSc Hons. So students do not need to withdraw from graduation at the end of their third year if they find that they have got into honours, but can graduate with a BA or BSc, and then proceed to a BA or BSc Honours.
