The Honours Programme at the Department of Psychology offers students an in-depth theoretical understanding of Psychology as a discipline, the opportunity to conduct a research project, and practical exposure to community engagement and service-learning activities. During the Honours Programme, students will explore the topics presented during their undergraduate studies in greater depth in order to prepare them for a Master’s level training. Students should note that completing the BPsych Honours Programme will NOT allow them to practice as a Psychologist or Counsellor.

After completion of the Honours Programme, students can apply for admission to the postgraduate training programmes in either professional psychology (Master’s in Applied Psychology: Clinical or Counselling) or academic psychology (Master’s in Research). Please note that these programmes are subject to a strict selection process.

The duration of the BPsych Honours Programme is one academic year for full-time students or two academic years for part-time students. All modules are offered only during the day, scheduled between 08:00 and 17:00. The programme is not presented via distance learning or online. All contact sessions are face-to-face on campus.

Applications for the BPsych Honours programme open on 1 August every year, with the closing date being 30 September.

Information about HOW TO APPLY will be available on 1 August.
