Notes
Entry-level IELTS score based on your lowest IELTS band score
You will take the Placement Test before the start of your course.
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:
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.
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.
