The Psychology Extension sub-major is designed to give students enrolled in an accredited psychology sequence the opportunity to study some areas of psychology in greater depth. To complete the sub-major students must choose four units from a prescribed pool. The sub-major is a compulsory component of 1865 Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). Students enrolled in other degrees are welcome to select the sub-major, but they should carefully check the prerequisites of units in the pool as many of them require completion of units from the psychology core.
