Assessment of overseas qualifications

APS assessment for university entry

Most universities and higher education providers require an APS assessment of psychology qualifications to apply for entry to an APAC accredited course in psychology

Students seeking to apply for APAC accredited postgraduate psychology programs will only require an assessment conducted by the APS. However, once accepted into a post graduate psychology program students will need to apply for provisional registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.
