Is transfer from B medical science to B psychology possible? (1 Viewer)

[ezywayyy]

In the future i wish to become a clinical psychologist, however i did not receive an offer for B psychology .. but instead B medical science. Is transferring possible? If so, what kind of marks do i need to attain?

Alternatively, if i complete my B medical science degree majoring in Psychology would it still forward me into the career path i wish to pursue? or is there some limitations for that compared to those who complete a B psychology?


Sorry for the many questions, I just want to have an idea of what my options are :/

Delayed reply but you can still become an accredited Psychologist through B Med Sci: http://sydney.edu.au/courses/pathways/psychology-major but if you're looking into transferring then:

Transferring to the Bachelor of Psychology - all students

Students who have completed at least 48 credit points of study and have obtained a High Distinction average in at least 12 credit points of Junior Psychology can apply to transfer into the Bachelor of Psychology.

Applications should be made through UAC and all transfers are competitive.

and

How transfer applications are assessed

Generally, when applying to transfer your ATAR (or equivalent) and the results from your tertiary study will be considered. It may help to think of these being given an approximately 50/50 weighting and assigned an overall rating similar to a ATAR.

Results from tertiary study will be only considered if you have been enrolled for at least one full-time year or an equivalent period part-time. These studies would normally need to be part of a recognised award course of at least associate diploma level or higher for your results to be considered.

Students should note that applying to transfer to the Faculty of Science is competitive, the exact standard required for each intake is determined by a comparison of the number and quality of applications with the number of places available in courses.

Minimum requirements are sometimes listed in the Faculty Handbook. Overall, a higher ATAR for a degree would be indicative of requiring a higher ATAR/Tertiary combination to successfully transfer to that degree.

Applicants with a record of failure at tertiary study are less competitive for a place than those with a successful academic history.
