The completed questionnaire has to be submitted no later than 31 October  at 17h00 to be considered for admission to the masters programme in Industrial Psychology.

The Department generally receives more qualifying applications than we can accommodate on the programme.  The rank-ordering of applicants will generally be unavoidable. The rank-ordering will be based on the following criteria: the magnitude of the average percentage mark in the honours year, whether percentage marks higher than 65% were obtained in all honours year modules and the consistency with which students performed academically in Industrial Psychology throughout their honours degree.  The order in which these criteria are listed reflect their influence on the rank-ordering of applicants that qualify for admission.
