More information regarding admission requirements

Admission requirements

A Bachelor's degree in Psychology from a university or a higher education institution. Graduates of other social science degree courses (e.g. Medicine, Education, Theology, Sociology) can be admitted given certain prerequisites (a sufficient knowledge of psychology must be evident). If there is a shortfall in knowledge which would normally be expected from a Bachelor's course in psychology, applicants must acquire this missing specialised knowledge through 'bridging courses'.
