The Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology (Internal) has been accredited by the Australian Psychological Society as providing a fourth year of study in psychology. 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.
To be eligible for admission, candidates must have an undergraduate degree that includes an Australian Psychological Society-approved major sequence in psychology. Selection is based on academic merit.
Students are required to undertake two units from elective A and one unit from elective B. The electives offered by the Faculty of Education are listed below. Note that not all electives will be offered each year.
The above course outline is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress and is subject to change without notice. Students should consult their course coordinator to assist in planning their program.
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.
