once you finish a melbourne degree can you apply to more than one honours?
As long as you meet the prerequisites, you can apply for whatever you want.

You can apply to honours to any university as well, but yeah, the standard for most honours programmes (at Monash) is about a Distinction (70%) in 3rd-Year subs, but for Psychology, it's more towards the 80%

Hey all,
After finally completing my VCE, I've decided that I want to continue studying Psychology at Uni. I've been looking up all the courses at other unis, but I'm confused to exactly what Melbourne requires to study Psych? Cos it says it has the largest Psych department and what not, and I don't know if I'm just confused and stupid but does Melbourne not have any psych undergraduate degrees? Just curious.

Thanks for your help in advance :D

You can do a psychology major through either a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science. If you prefer your arts style subjects go with a Bachelor of Arts, but if you prefer science then do a bachelor of science.

I'm pretty sure that the prerequisite to applying for honours is an H1 average. Honours basically accelerates what you do in a masters degree to go into a PhD. I went to a seminar on post graduate degrees and people who do honours will find the degree's pace a lot more faster than masters since you have 1 year for your thesis and coursework, whilst a masters degree spreads it out over 2 years. I wouldn't recommend doing an honours degree unless you want to do a PhD.

Yeah. It's a legal requirement for registration as a Probationary Psychologist with the Psychologists Registration Board of Victoria that you have completed a Fourth-Year in Psychology, which Honours is one way of achieving that pathway.

Honours (generally all, except in Law, Engineering and Medicine) is an extra year that you take. In Psychology, it's a combination between the writing of a few research and completion of bits of coursework in ethics, statistics and an elective I think. In Science subjects, it's a theses of 10,000 words, and a bit of coursework in statstics.

Masters refers to a degree that you do after your degree. There's a variety, some are coursework-based (e.g. MBA) and some are research-based.

but remember, you don't have to do honours, you can do a graduate diploma, which you're probably more likely to get into even if you miss out on honours.

Probably the most pertinent is that you can't jump from the Postgrad Diploma to any Doctoral-level programmes, whereas you can with the Honours programme.
