Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited degrees from Bachelors through to Masters

The School also offers PhD research degrees in many areas of psychology. The following specialty areas of research are offered, some through the School's Centre for Applied Psychological Research:

Throughout the School's activities and programs runs the common thread of an emphasis on preparing students for practical and professional work. Most staff have personal and active experience in one or more of these professional or applied areas. There is also a School-wide emphasis on students gaining practical experience and skills at all levels of their study.
