A student who has completed all the requirements for the Bachelor of Psychological Science, or another qualification which the Faculty Board agrees is equivalent, may be accepted as a candidate for the honours degree providing a sufficiently high standard has been achieved in fulfilling the requirements for the bachelors degree.

The proposed honours program is identical to the existing, nationally accredited honours programs in psychology at Flinders, namely Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Honours), Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Bachelor of Science (Honours) and the 4th year of the Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). All honours programs in psychology share the same structure and requirements.
