The content of the Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology (Education) has been
accredited by the Australian Psychological Society as providing a fourth year
of study in psychology. Completion of the course is a prima facie qualification
for associate membership.
Candidates must have an undergraduate degree that includes an Australian Psychological Society-approved major sequence in psychology. Selection is based on academic merit.
The
postgraduate diploma aims to establish a foundation of knowledge in areas such
as professional practice, human behaviour and theories of psychology. The
emphasis is theoretical rather than practical. It provides advanced training in
the design, execution and analysis of research with each student completing an
empirical research project.
In order to develop the practical skills necessary to function as a
psychologist, a period of supervised practice or further study in psychology
(eg. the MPsych offered by the Faculty of Education) should be undertaken
following completion of the postgraduate diploma.
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress and is subject to change without notice.

This course comprises one year full-time or two years part-time study taken on-campus. The expected number of hours per week for a full-time student is 48.
