Students who wish to proceed to 4th and later years of study and/or be eligible for professional registration must complete three extra core units mandated by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council. Details are included in the structure of the major.

You can even undertake studies through another Murdoch School to broaden your understanding of the way in which science operates in relation to social, business, health and policy environments.
