ACAP’s Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) will suit psychology graduates seeking employment in areas that value knowledge of psychology and an advanced level of research and writing skills, or those who wish to continue training towards registration as a psychologist. The Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) is offered at our Sydney and Melbourne campuses and is conditionally accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). It is comprised coursework as well as a 12,000 word thesis. The Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) is similar to our Graduate Diploma of Psychology; however there is greater emphasis on the thesis component of the course. Although all students in both courses complete an individual thesis, the honours thesis is more individualised and less focused on team work. Completion of this course provides the necessary qualification to apply for further study in psychology and for provisional registration as a psychologist.

Psychology graduates build careers in areas where knowledge of psychology and well‑developed research and writing skills are valued, such as health and social welfare, social policy and research, market research, human services, disability and ageing, mental health services, juvenile justice, immigration and refugee support services. Some graduates continue their study in psychology with the aim of becoming registered psychologists and others undertake further specialist study for careers in diverse areas such as allied health, teaching, and business.
