The Bachelor of Behavioural Science with Honours, BBehavSc(Hons), provides students who have graduated with a Bachelor of Behavioural Science degree with sufficient merit, the opportunity to complete an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited fourth year program in Psychology. The BBehavSc(Hons) program provides training in research, advanced theoretical topics and an introduction to professional training and is identical to that offered in the BA(Hons), BSc(Hons) and the fourth year of the BPsych. It is the pathway to postgraduate training and research for BBehavSc graduates. The BBehavSc(Hons) is normally undertaken by full-time study. Part-time enrolments require prospective approval from the Division of Psychology. Mid-year entry may be available but conditions apply. Applicants should note that it may take longer to complete the Program by mid-year entry depending on whether the student commences the research project in the first or second semester of enrolment. The main objectives of the fourth year psychology program are to provide for the completion of an integrated and comprehensive education in the discipline of psychology, to permit advanced level study in a range of areas, and to develop competence in conducting research. It seeks to provide academic preparation of students in the scientist/practitioner model and equip graduates with the knowledge and skills required for roles as provisionally registered psychologists and as a basis for further postgraduate study in professional training programs or in research. Course structure An accredited fourth year in psychology must provide students with advanced education and training in core areas and must contain a substantial individual research project. An opportunity for coverage of applied topics and applied skills as a basis for subsequent training in advanced professional skills may also be offered. The course comprises four coursework units (50%), plus a research thesis (50%).
