Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced)

If you’ve already completed an accredited three-year undergraduate degree in psychology, the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced) will meet the fourth-year accreditation component required to register as a provisional psychologist in Australia. If you’re working towards becoming a registered psychologist and have already completed an accredited three-year undergraduate psychology degree or equivalent, this course provides you with an alternative option to an honours year to satisfy the educational requirements needed to register and work as a provisional psychologist or further your studies with an application into a relevant master’s course upon completion of the course. If you're in your last semester of your undergraduate psychology degree, you can apply for an early conditional offer based on your results to date. Admission into this course usually requires a credit average or better in your undergraduate psychology units. Students in the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced) must complete coursework at an advanced level as well as a group-based research project written up as an individual thesis.
