Is it possible to study degree in Parapsychology?

Question

I am in Australia & can not find any information.

Answer 1

I will not give an opinion, just the information you asked for.

Stay away from "Degree Mills" they are worth the paper your degree would be printed .

Some accredited colleges offer degrees that are designed for the individual, and include credit for life experience. But, even they are unlikely to award a formal degree in parapsychology.

A growing number of respected, accredited colleges offer courses and degree programs in studies related to parapsychology and the paranormal. Here are a few offering solid academic opportunities.

you will want to major  in physics, biology, psychology or engineering, or some other field. You may study the same topics--and at the same level--as someone in a parapsychology program, but the diploma will look more mainstream. This can be useful in career terms, if you don't find a full-time career in the paranormal field.

Keep in mind most full-time ghost hunters are self-employed, and have spent considerable time marketing themselves

Universities with courses in paranormal studies and parapsychology degrees.

      UK

    * Edinburgh - The University of Edinburgh is among the most highly respected in the field of parapsychology, and has awarded parapsychology degrees. Their Koestler Parapsychology Unit hosts considerable psi-related research.

    * Hertfordshire - Professor Richard Weisman researches luck and paranormal-related phenomena at the University of Hertfordshire.

      USA

    * Arizona - The Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona offers many courses that focus on issues related to alternative and paranormal studies. These include web-based courses as well as on-campus resources.

    * New Jersey - Princeton University takes a slightly different approach with Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR), with a focus on the "Scientific Study of Consciousness-Related Physical Phenomena" including paranormal studies and remote perception.

    * North Carolina - Duke University's Rhine Research Center is "an Institute for the Study of Consciousness," and offers many psi-related courses, workshops, and seminars.

      JAPAN

    * The International Society of Life Information Science (ISLIS) offers academic symposia and parapsychology research opportunities.

      NETHERLANDS

    * Amsterdam - The Psychology department at the University of Amsterdam has offered courses in paranormal studies. In July 2006, parapsychology courses were not featured at their website, which is in Dutch. With further research, you may find their courses, or they may feature them later. (Also see the nearby University of Utrecht courses, below.)

    * Utrecht - Professor d**k J. Bierman at the University of Utrecht (UU) offers an Internet-based introduction to parapsychology. The University (on-campus) also offers courses in related fields.

Answer 3

The nearest thing to that in the UK that I can think of would be at Liverpool Hope University, studying under Dr Matthew Smith (see: http://www.hope.ac.uk/research/staff/mat... and that details some of the work he has done).  Alternatively, the University of Hertfordshire, under Dr Richard Wiseman, who has done a lot of work in this field.

But I can't find any degrees specifically in parapsychology, I'm afraid, and I don't know of anyone in Australia who specialises in this field.
