* BA- Psychology or BSc – Psychology after the completion of at least 12 credit points, with an overall grade point average of 2.5 or better for all the credit points attempted.
Enrolment at the University in single units is named non-award because a student is not currently enrolled for an award, that is, a degree, diploma or certificate program at Macquarie University. The credit-point value of Non-award units successfully completed can be included in a Macquarie degree at a later time.
Most units are half-year (single semester) units. Some are offered in the evening and/or by distance study.
An application for each unit will be assessed by Department/s offering the unit, in order to determine whether an applicant has sufficient academic background to manage the work required for that unit. If a unit has specific prerequisites (study which must be completed, or a requirement that must be satisfied before enrolment in that unit is permitted), verified documentation must be provided to enable a decision to be made.
Application does not guarantee enrolment in a unit.
