This course gives students opportunities to develop an understanding of psychology as a scientific discipline and to appreciate the role it plays within society as a whole. The construction of major and minor sequences enables students to undertake specialised studies in humanities and social sciences in other disciplines to complete their learning in psychology.
The
arts major may be chosen from Australian Indigenous studies, history-politics,
Indonesian, communications, philosophy, sociology or writing (details on each
discipline are provided under the entry for the School of Humanities,
Communications and Social Sciences).
For information on majors and minors offered, refer to the `Areas of study'
section on the Arts faculty website at
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.
Students
must complete the following:
(a) a psychology major (54 points)
(b) an arts major (48 points)
(c) two additional first-year-level arts sequences (24 points)
(d) a further 12 points of arts (first, second or third-year level)
(e) a minimum of 36 points at third-year level.
Note that no more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at a first-year
level. Students have a maximum of eight years to complete this course.
The
major sequence in psychology is a common program offered on the Caulfield,
Clayton and Gippsland campuses by the Department of Psychology in the Faculty
of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. The Australian Psychological Society
(APS)-accredited major comprises 10 six-point units: nine core units and one
elective unit. Some third-level electives may be undertaken in second year,
providing prerequisites and corequisites are met.
Students who wish to complete requirements for registration with the Australian
Psychological Society (APS) may use one of their elective units to complete the
additional unit. Unit details for the psychology major can be found under
`Units from other faculties recognised as arts units - Psychology' earlier in
this section.
