Apart from contributing to preparing educators for schools, the Department of Educational Psychology, offers postgraduate programmes that are aimed at expanding the knowledge and skills of students in the field of Educational Psychology.
The BEd Honours in Educational Psychology programme consists of eight (8) modules. Please note that the Honours programme does not lead to registration as a counsellor with the Health Professions Council.
