You will take the Placement Test before the start of your course.


Academic background and requirement

Selection is based on a holistic consideration of your academic merit, work experience, likelihood of success, availability of places, participation requirements, regulatory requirements, and individual circumstances. 

To be considered for admission to this degree, you will need to meet all the following criteria:

  • Completion of a four-year tertiary program* with a psychology major from an APAC accredited program with a minimum of an Honours 2A average or equivalent. Applicants who completed a four-year psychology program more than 10 years ago must articulate how they have maintained recency of Level 2 Pre-Professional Competencies and
  • eligibility for registration as a provisional psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia.

International applicants will need to have their qualifications assessed by APAC to determine if the applicant's qualifications are comparable to an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) sequence of study in psychology.

*Either an honours program or the combination of a three-year undergraduate degree, including a psychology major and an approved postgraduate program. 

If you are applying with an international qualification, the Australian Psychological Society must assess this as equivalent.

Non-academic requirements

You will be required to provide two referee reports with your application. 

Two academic referees are preferred, but where an applicant cannot seek a second academic referee, a professional referee may be suitable if they are in the position to respond to the criteria assessed in the referee reports.
