Psychology can be studied at ANU in a specialised Bachelor of Science (Psychology) program or as part of a combined degree. Students take at least 78 units of psychology.

A pass degree in psychology provides an excellent grounding in the field . An honours degree or fourth-year diploma provides additional training in research and substantive psychological skills. This is essential for admission to associate membership in the Australian Psychological Society, for registration as a psychologist in the ACT, and for enrolment in most graduate degree programs.

Qualification for the independent practice of psychology, or employment in academic and medical institutions, typically requires graduate study leading to a degree of Master of Philosophy, Master of Clinical Psychology, Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DPsych (Clinical)), Doctor of Philosophy, or Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology).

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
