Elective courses
Students who are completing a minor study are required to enrol in elective courses equivalent to two units. Students commencing this program may wish to consider studying PSY3030 Abnormal Behaviour as an elective. This course provides an elaboration of the main concepts and issues regarding abnormal behaviours and mental illness. Students commencing this program may also wish to consider studying PSY1030 Cross-Cultural and Indigenous Psychology as an elective in the EXT mode in the semester 2 or Semester 3 offering. The aim of PSY1030 is to provide an increased understanding and awareness of cultural effects upon psychology which will hopefully lead to increased tolerance and respect for people of diverse cultures. Students may enrol in a minor and/or electives other than at USQ under collaborative cross-institutional arrangements, details of which must be negotiated with the Program Coordinator.
