Handbook

To qualify for the Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) / Bachelor of Science (Animal Behaviour) a student must complete 144 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic according to the program of study below with a:

• Behavioural Science (Psychology) component of 58.5 units
• Science (Animal Behaviour) component of 85.5 units, according to the program of study below

Not all topics are necessarily available each year.

Students who commence, but subsequently do not wish to complete the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) or the Bachelor of Science (Animal Behaviour) and receive credit for some or all of the topics already completed in the relevant component.

Students admitted in a combined degree must complete the program of study specified before they can graduate with either award.

1. This Program of Study serves as a suggested study plan.  When core topics are offered in both halves of the year, students may enrol in these topics in either half of the year as long as requisites are met.

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.

This course is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council. Graduates are eligible to apply for Honours in psychology or the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced). In order to become a psychologist, graduates must then complete two further years of further study/training, for example, a 2-year Master of Psychology, a 1-year Master of Professional Psychology plus internship, or 2 years of supervised practice.
