Back to Planning for Year Two

Steps in Making Your Study Plan

1. Keep the required courses (Year 1 and 2) as priority.

2. Make sure to note the entry requirements for the courses and the order in which courses must be taken.

3. Plan 15 ec per Block. Move things around to make the best schedule for you. Note: You may not take more than 40ec in a semester without Adviser consent.

4. Check out the meeting schedules of the courses and make sure the course fits in your schedule. Look at the entire block of course meetings and view weekly calendar.

In Semester II: Think carefully about which Specialisation and Elective courses you want / need: Which Master’s specialisation are you considering? Which specialisation courses are of interest? Which electives interest you? Study abroad? Minor? (What are the deadlines!) Do you want to take courses outside of psychology? (prior approval in uSis)
