Undergraduate Psychology courses
We are pleased to announce that from 2017, Murdoch will be offering two new, simplified degree structures designed to allow students to complete an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited qualification by simply completing a major in “Psychology” without the need for additional units or minors.
How do the new degrees differ from the old degrees?
The new degrees and the pre 2017 APAC-accredited double major are very similar. The psychology units offered will not change, but there will be some small changes to which units are listed as “core” versus “elective.”
Why are these changes being made?
The aim of the new degrees is to simplify the enrolment process for incoming students wishing to study psychology and to meet the undergraduate study requirements for eventual registration as a psychologist. We also expect that it will make the APAC-accredited status of the degree more transparent to future employers and other educational institutions.
