Graduate Diploma in Psychology
Are you interested in studying psychology, but have already completed a Bachelor's degree in other subject areas? The Graduate Diploma in Psychology (GradDipPsych) provides an effective means of getting an accredited undergraduate major in psychology to satisfy a personal interest or in order to pursue subsequent studies in psychology in the fourth year and beyond for academic or professional reasons. With no former university units in psychology, this degree involves 10 units that can be completed in a minimum of 1 year (if study commences in Trimester 3 and finishes in Trimester 2 of the following year). If an applicant has already completed Introductory Psychology units in a previous degree then they only need to undertake 8 post-introductory units; which can be completed within two trimesters full-time. Advanced standing on up to fifty percent (50%) of the units in this course is available.
