[AUS] Give me ALL the options to apply to for Honours!

Search

Hi all,

I'm an Australian student who is interested in a career in research or organisational psychology. My specific interest is cyber-social psychology, and social psychology in general. I'd like to be able to do Honours to then get into a Masters of Research and thus continue a career in research!

Unfortunately, Macquarie University (my uni) has reduced the number of spaces for honours students, so despite me being in the Honours stream and having met and surpassed all progression requirements, I am not guaranteed entry.

I hear the best method is to apply to literally EVERY uni for honours, and thus increase your likelihood of getting in to at least one program.

So I'm reaching out to the wider community to ask for your suggestions for places to add to my list of places I should apply to!

This is my current list (which will hopefully also serve as a resource for anyone with similar questions to me who is reading this post:
