Psychology can be studied at ANU in a specialised Bachelor of Science (Psychology) program. Students wanting to qualify with a BSc(Psych) take at least 78 units of psychology within their 144 unit degree. Other courses making up the 144 units for the degree are at the student's discretion, with advice from the undergraduate adviser.

Psychology can also be studied as part of a BSc or BA degree, the choice of degree depending on whether a student's interests lean towards the Sciences (BSc) or Arts/Social Sciences (BA) areas. In both of these cases, students wishing to qualify for fourth year study in Psychology must include a minimum of 72 units of psychology within their 144 unit degree, and further Science or Arts courses as specified in the BSc and BA rules.

The program of study in psychology can also form part of combined programs; for example the BSc(Psych) may be combined with degrees in Law (BSc(Psych)/LLB) or Commerce (BComm/BSc(Psych)), Music (BMus/BSc(Psych)) as well as with the BSc and BA. For additional information and specific advice, the student should consult either the Undergraduate Adviser of the Department of Psychology or the Colleges Office.

A pass degree in psychology provides an excellent grounding in the field . An Honours degree or fourth-year diploma provides additional training in research and substantive psychological skills. This is essential for admission to associate membership in the Australian Psychological Society, for registration as a psychologist in the ACT, and for enrolment in most graduate degree programs. Qualification for the independent practice of psychology, or employment in academic and medical institutions, typically requires graduate study leading to a degree of Master of Philosophy, Master of Clinical Psychology, Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DPsych (Clinical)), Doctor of Philosophy, or Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology).
