3. Can the learners communicate effectively orally and in writing (e.g. report writing) with the different role players in the field of Psychology and research by applying the theoretical principles of communication and reflect on the application made (communication skills)?
4. Have the learners developed an accountable theoretical and practical macro vision of the role of Psychology and research in Psychology internationally, nationally, provincially/regionally and locally (development of macro vision)?

Formative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Learners are continuously assessed via supervision and by presentation at seminars.
Summative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Learners write a thesis and article after completion of an extensive research project. The thesis is examined by internal and external examiners and the article is reviewed by subject specialists. Integrated assessment, focusing on the achievement of the exit-level outcomes.
