Application Process:
Applicants must complete a University Official Application Form and attach relevant information about their academic record. Application forms can be obtained from the Registrar's Office by contacting the Student Bureau and are also available on http://www.ru.ac.za/psychology/resources
Applicants should send the completed application form to the Student Bureau (Registrar's Division), along with the application fee. The application forms will then be scanned and forwarded to the Psychology Department.
The Department will make a provisional decision regarding acceptance once the applications are processed and students will be notified shortly afterwards. This will take the form of "Accepted", "Waitlisted", or "Not accepted" The department is only able to make a final decision once the final mark in Psychology 3 is available. For this reason, most applicants are only finally accepted in mid-December, although we do try to provisionally accept students so that they can be in a better position to plan for the next year. Students who are provisionally accepted and then achieve a mark of below 65% for psychology 3 will lose their places in the programme. In December, the list of accepted students will be finalised and some students will be placed on a (new) waiting list. These students will be offered places in the programme if, for any reason, students on the final accepted list do not accept the offer of a place in the programme. The Psychology Department will contact the accepted and waitlisted students in December and inform them of the Department's decision. Unsuccessful candidates will be contacted by the Registrar's division at a later date to be informed of the status of their application.
Applications close 31 October.
