Program Description

The Graduate Diploma in Psychology provides an effective means of getting an accredited undergraduate major in psychology to satisfy personal interest, or in order to pursue subsequent studies in psychology at fourth year and beyond for academic or professional reasons. With no former university units in psychology this degree involves 10 courses that can be completed in a minimum of 1 year. If an applicant has already completed Introductory Psychology courses in a previous degree, then they only need undertake 8 post-introductory courses; which can be completed within two semesters full-time. 

The Graduate Diploma in Psychology allows students to apply for employment positions that use psychological knowledge. Positions are available in a wide range of public, private and non-profit settings. Examples include human service organizations, employment agencies, counselling services, personnel management, market research, health and community services.
