All students follow the foundational path in their first, second and third years with a major in Psychology. Students are taught knowledge and skills in preparing them to be effective and become important role players in the field of psychology. 

Our department offers undergraduate modules in psychology, leading to a major in discipline.  After qualification in the three-year BA degree and Honours degree, students may also apply for study in different Master’s programmes offered in various higher education institutions in the country, e.g., Educational, Counselling, Clinical, Industrial & Research Psychology which lead to registration as a psychologist with the Professional Board for Psychology under the Health Professions Council of South Africa (the HPCSA).
