Do I need to do related undergraduate courses and thesis topic in order to do a particular Masters program?
You do not need to do an Honours thesis in a related area to the Masters degree that you are interested in entering. Admission to each of the Masters degrees depends on your marks, which are combined and weighted differentially from your undergraduate degree and your Honours year. Generally, to be eligible for direct admission to any Masters degree, you must hold a good Honours degree in Psychology (a minimum Honours Class 2 Division 1 degree from UNSW or a qualification considered equivalent is normally required). Selection is therefore based on academic qualifications for the Masters Program. Applicants who do not satisfy these entrance requirements may in exceptional circumstances be admitted, at the discretion of the School of Psychology, depending upon their knowledge, experience, occupation and the nature of their undergraduate training. Students applying under these provisions will generally be required to complete a qualifying program before they are admitted.
