All areas of study information should be read in conjunction with the relevant course entry in the Handbook. The units listed for this area of study relate only to the 'Requirements' outlined in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences component of any bachelors double degrees.
DescriptionCurriculumThe Monash psychology curriculum is based on the principle that training in the discipline of psychology should follow the scientist-practitioner model, where learning about professional practice is taught within the scientific perspective. Students are then able to make informed choices about psychology-related careers and further training at the fourth year and postgraduate level. Accredited majorThe School of Psychology, Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine, offer students an undergraduate psychology program comprising of a 60-point major sequence which is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and approved for registration purposes by the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria. This program provides an avenue to further study in psychology and to the training required to practise as a psychologist. It provides the option of proceeding to a degree with honours or into postgraduate programs of study. The 60-point accredited major sequence may be taken in the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Behavioural Neuroscience, Bachelor of Psychology (with honours), Bachelor of Psychology and Business, Bachelor of Behavioural Science, Bachelor of Psychology and Management/Marketing, Bachelor of Arts and some Bachelor of Arts degrees with specialisations. Non-accredited majorA 48-point major in psychology may be sufficient to satisfy the requirements for a major sequence in any of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, single or double degrees, but is not APAC-accredited and will not permit entry to fourth-year programs in psychology. OfferingsThe school offers a common psychology curriculum across all campuses and modes of study. The undergraduate psychology program is taught on-campus, in flexible learning mode (with on-campus laboratory classes and lecture content taught through study notes and web-based material), and in the off-campus learning mode, with compulsory on-campus attendance. At Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland, South Africa and Sunway campus, Malaysia, the program is taught on-campus. Caulfield offers some evening as well as day classes. At Peninsula campus, the first year of the program is taught on-campus, and the second and third years are taught in flexible learning mode. At Berwick campus, only the first-year program is offered, and this is in flexible learning mode. Therefore, study in later years needs to be undertaken at another campus or in the off-campus mode.
