Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying psychology

Psychology degrees cover how people think and behave, including research methods and statistics. A three-year degree does not make you a psychologist. Registration needs further accredited study, usually an honours year and then postgraduate training.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into psychology courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is expected, and mathematics is commonly recommended. To register as a psychologist you need further accredited study beyond a three-year degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
