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 
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.
What's the difference between honours and masters?
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.
