The information here is indicative of offerings available for 2020 and subsequent years. This information is correct at the time of publication, but may be subject to change.  While all reasonable efforts will be made to ensure listed courses and programmes are offered and regulations are up to date, the University reserves the right to change the content or method of presentation, or to withdraw any course of study, or impose limitations on enrolments should circumstances require this.

Honours and master's taught courses

Please remember that acceptance into postgraduate diploma, honours or master's programmes does not guarantee your acceptance into specific courses. Several 700-level courses in the School of Psychology have enrolment limits of 25 students. It is advisable to enrol for your courses as early as possible to maximise your chance of being accepted into a specific course on your preferred campus.

Block mode

Most taught courses are offered in block mode, and a few are taught in distance mode. Course materials are posted to you and you are expected to work consistently across the whole semester of enrolment. As well as written materials and assignments, there is a block mode contact workshop (on-campus) of four or five days for each course. Attendance at contact workshops is compulsory.
