  • one 16-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies and one 4-unit minor

  • one 16-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies and 4 units of elective courses

  • one 12-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies and one 8-unit major*^

  • one 12-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies, one 4-unit minor and 4 units of elective courses

  • one 12-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies and 8 units of elective courses

  • one 8-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies, one 8-unit major *and 4 units of elective courses*

  • one 8-unit BSCI major, 4-unit Foundation Studies and 12 units of elective courses approved by the Program Director.


*The second 8-unit major can be chosen from any approved 8-unit major in the ¾«¶«´«Ã½app. Students should ensure that they complete the appropriate courses in their second major in order to graduate with a double major in the Bachelor of Science. The selection of a suitable block of Foundation Studies courses will be based on the majors chosen and will require Program Director approval.
^The Information Technology and Computing Majors, and the Mathematics and the Mathematics and Statistics majors cannot be combined towards a double major in the program.

At least four courses in the program will be at level 3 and no more than 10 courses in the program will be at level 1. Where two majors are chosen which have some compulsory courses in common, the overlap will be made up by taking extra major approved courses defined in those majors.

BSCP - Psychology Extended (16-unit major)

BSCP - Psychology Extended major objectives

The Bachelor of Science (Psychology Extended) (BSCP) program aims to produce graduates who have advanced knowledge and skills in psychology. Participation in the capstone experience will provide students with the acquired ability to research independently, apply theory and develop academic expertise in their chosen focus of area in psychology. The Program will extend student's appreciation of the contributions made by psychologists to society.

Many people who study psychology will not go on to become psychologists, but will find their training in psychology to be highly relevant and useful in their lives and work. Those who do become psychologists may work in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, government bodies, large corporations, or in private practice. The BSCP - Psychology Extended major will provide students with a broader knowledge of psychology-related knowledge and skills, which more than satisfy the minimum requirements for affiliate membership of relevant professional bodies, most notably the Australian Psychological Society.

Graduates who have completed the Extended major in Psychology (BSCP) will be able to:

  • apply knowledge of the breadth and depth of the major fields in contemporary Psychology to describe and explain human behaviour in multiple contexts:

  • systematically apply this knowledge in specific contexts such as mental health (clinical psychology), the workplace (organisational psychology), legal settings (law and psychology), education or sport psychology.

  • conduct research and report the findings to lay persons and the scientific community at large

  • prepare and develop a portfolio, which documents learning of identified outcomes and reflections of metacognitive processes

  • develop a broad range of skills, which are suited to occupations requiring the study or application of behavioural science in both the public and private sector


BSCP - Psychology Extended Major Courses

This is a 16-unit extended major. Along with the Foundation Studies courses prescribed above, students must take the following 16 units of courses:

Requirements for entry to Master of Learning and Teaching

Students intending to become secondary school teachers are advised that they may need to complete a postgraduate teacher entry qualification (such as the two-year MOLT Master of Learning and Teaching ) after completion of their undergraduate program. For further information, students should refer to the Education section of this Handbook or address enquiries to the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts.

Credit

Exemptions/credit will be assessed based on the .

For PSY course exemptions – Psychology courses taken at another university or institution will only be considered for psychology exemptions if the courses were part of an APAC (Australian Psychology Accreditation Council) accredited sequence. APAC regulations clearly state that only courses taken within an APAC sequence can be used for exemptions from any PSY courses.

Transferring students - students who transfer into the BSCI from another UniSQ program, such as the (Counselling), will have all relevant courses transferred as per UniSQ policy. Completed courses will be transferred and treated as non-psychology general electives as per to APAC regulations. For example, EDC1100 will be treated as a non-psychology general elective as it is not equivalent to PSY2030 Developmental Psychology and does not form part of an APAC accredited sequence.

Recommended Enrolment Pattern - 8 unit majors - Animal Science, Biology, Computing, Environment and Sustainability, Human Physiology, Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Wine Science

Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, external or online), regardless of the program mode of study they enrolled in.

Students studying part-time should complete the major in a logical sequence as to reflect as close as possible the enrolment pattern below.

Students undertaking an eight-unit major as a first major should:

  • study the beginning of this section that describes the program structure and requirements for the award of the Bachelor of Science. Notably four units in the program must be at level 3.

  • select at least one major from the eight-unit majors listed in the previous pages. Select courses from that/those major(s) bearing in mind the requirements for the award and possible pre-requisite requirements. It is strongly suggested that students start with core courses and level 1 courses in their first year of study and progress to level 2 and level 3 courses in their second and third years of study respectively.

  • select elective courses. Students should refer to the courses in the section of the Handbook to help with the selection of elective courses. Students may select their electives as a package as described in the section, or they may select any courses of interest providing they obtain approval from the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences

  • having arrived at an appropriate enrolment plan construct a table detailing the intended progression through the program.

  • contact the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences when they arrive at the ¾«¶«´«Ã½app, or before they arrive to verify that their selection is appropriate.


There is sufficient flexibility in the Bachelor of Science requirements to allow individual students to design a program well suited to their needs. Students should contact the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences to discuss their program structure as major combinations are timetable dependent.
