iTunes Course

Behaviour and Environment

The School of Social Sciences and Psychology is proud to announce the release of the university's first open-access iTunes U Course, Behaviour and Environment, on December 2, 2013.

The course will be available to anyone anywhere to study the materials in as much or as little detail as they wish. Those wanting to also complete the course activities will need to create their own Blog site to upload their materials to share with us and with other students taking the course.

Enrolled students taking the unit 101182 Behaviour and Environment in summer will also be able to use this course as an additional resource. It has the same content and activities, but without the assessments.

The course is optimised for iPad, and although it can be accessed through other platforms and mobile devices, only iPad gives access to the interactive iBooks.

An Alternative Entry Pathway to Psychology

Prospective students concerned that they may not be competitive for entry into the Bachelor of Psychology will be able to use the iTunes U course as an alternative entry pathway.

The School of Social Sciences and Psychology offers an Entrance Challenge Examination on the content of the iTunes U Course. Applicants who pass this examination will receive a conditional offer to the Bachelor of Psychology or Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology), with a full offer subject to assessment of the full UAC application and meeting the minimum entry requirements for courses.

Upcoming exam dates

Exams for 2015 entry have already been held. If you have any questions please contact David Arness at d.arness@westernsydney.edu.au
