Bachelor of Health Sciences Honours in Psychology at North-West University

Entry requirements

Candidates should be in possession of an applicable Bachelor's degree with third year Psychology or should have passed third year level with Development Psychology and Psychopathology (undergraduate) as part of a curriculum, as well as an average of 65% in all Psychology modules. An initial paper selection takes place according to the criteria as determined by the school, where an average of 65% in Psychology modules is set as minimum criteria during the first B-degree. The complete academic record is however taken into consideration but the department holds the decision to change the minimum criteria depending on the number of applications. After the paper selection, a formal selection process follows. If a candidate is enrolled for another qualification at the time of selection, selection will only be provisional and may be cancelled by the department if the aforementioned qualification is not completed at the end of the academic year. An examination sub-minimum of 50% is required for all Psychology modules in the honours programme.
