This psychology degree also provides an avenue to postgraduate studies.
This course is part of an articulated program of study. Articulated programs allow you to build on your study to achieve the right level of qualification for you.
Please note: This course is only available for Charles Sturt alumni.
NOTE: Students who have completed Charles Sturt's Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology are not eligible to apply for admission into the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) (Honours). A fail grade in a level 4 psychology subject will automatically preclude a student from being admitted to the program.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
