To qualify for the Bachelor of Psychological Science, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.

Not all topics are necessarily available each year.

No more than 45 units of first year level topics may be completed for the degree. With permission of the Dean (Education), up to 54 units may be taken by cross-institutional study at an approved institution.

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.

2. Students can apply for cross institutional studies for electives via Ask Flinders.
