Psychology

For a major in Psychology, the minimum requirement is 48 credit points across Intermediate and Senior Psychology* units of study, including PSYC2010/2910, PSYC2012, PSYC2013 and PSYC2014. No other Intermediate Psychology units can be counted towards a major. Students must complete at least 24 credit points of Senior Psychology units for a major (or 30 credit points of Senior Psychology units for students in the BPsych degree). PSYC3018 must be included. Students who wish to be eligible for entry into the Honours program must also include PSYC3010.
*Note: HPSC3023 Psychology & Psychiatry: History & Phil is available as a Senior Psychology unit and will count towards a major in Psychology. Successful completion of this unit of study is essential for students intending to take the Theoretical Thesis option in Psychology Honours.
* Note: If you plan to complete a major in Psychology and intend proceeding to fourth year Honours in Psychology then you need to ensure that the major is completed within an accredited degree program. A list of accredited degree programs is available at the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council website: www.psychologycouncil.org.au
Please refer to the Science Faculty website for details of the major, http://sydney.edu.au/science/
