About this program

The Bachelor of Applied Science (Communication and Psychology) from Open Polytechnic is an academic level 7 programme with 400 credits. It focuses on communication processes and how they relate to human behaviour, alongside understanding and evaluating social and cultural issues.

This programme is delivered through online study. You work through course materials online at a pace that suits you between the course start and end dates. You need a laptop or desktop computer and reliable internet, and there is no need to travel to a campus.
