perpetual:
I'm looking to become a clinical psychologist, and so need to do four years of undergraduate study majoring in Psychology, then postgrad.
I've thought about the courses ANU has to offer in the way of Psychology for ages, but I can't decide what's best for me, because I'm into the arts a lot more than science. I'd like to be able to choose to study language alongside Psychology, but certain degrees, such as the 4 year BPsych (Honours) doesn't offer that option - it seems like I'd have to choose electives that are purely science based.

Am I better off choosing to study:
a straight BA majoring in Psych AND French or
BA/BSci (Psych) then attempting to get into honours or
BPsych (Hons)?

This is probably worded really badly and is quite confusing, but basically I want to know how I can study Psychology with as much flexibility to choose Arts subjects, and still be able to get into honours and postgrad study.

UoM offers a perfect model for me (BA in Psych and French then Hons) but I'm in love with the idea of moving to ANU.

Anyone have advice?

At Monash you can add a diploma of languages onto any course you do, so you can do the Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and add a diploma of languages on top of that, it adds one years worth of time onto your degree, but if you plan it out and overload or take summer units then, you can finish it all in 4 years.

Not sure if ANU has this option - but any reason why you find ANU appealing?

Pretty unrelated but, is it possible to 'overload' on a normal double degree. Eg, if I get my 1st pref. of Double in BA/BEd - takes 4 years... I think - could I reduce that time to 3 by having a heavier workload?

paulsterio:
Ask TrueTears, he's overloading a double degree, I think

brenden:
Think I might. Cheers for that.
