Is it better to do a combined degree or an undergraduate Psychology degree, followed by a Masters in Psychology?
This depends on what you would like to focus on. Doing an undergraduate psychology degree provides you with good overall knowledge of the discipline of psychology. Doing a Masters in Psychology allows for you to specialise in that area, and allows for you to become a registered psychologist in NSW, and a member of the Australian Psychological Society. Doing a combined degree provides you with broader qualifications in both disciplines. If you are unsure about doing psychology, then you may prefer to do a combined degree.
