Is your current course an accredited course with APAC? You might find that it is not, which would explain why it would translate to a Bachelor of Counselling rather than psychology. If you have a look at the APS website it has a link to APAC which lists all the accredited courses which will actually end up with you being able to become a registered psychologist, instead of a counsellor (if that's what you want to do). The APS website also has information about study pathways, etc. and which courses are approved by APAC (Australian Psychology Accreditation Council) and PsycBA (Psychology Board of Australia).

Definitely have a chat to a course advisor at ACU, maybe see if you can call directly? I know my uni has a student support helpline that puts you in touch with the program advisors relevant to your course.

Good luck with what you decide.
This was exactly what I was going to say


I got into the wrong course. I don't even remember applying for psych science, but obviously I did, and it won't take me where I want to go.
I just sent an email. Hopefully that will het me a quicker response.
My current course is accredited. Funnily enough the ACU one isn't, but you can still get accreditation because it meets the standards (I did check, but not sure how it works)
My head hurts.
this is a total bugger!!!! But if you've got into one - hopefully you will be able to get into another!! Good luck!!! FX!
