Our Bachelor of Psychology program recognizes health, community, or social services diplomas from accredited Australian training institutions (or their equivalents) for direct entry into the second year
If you've completed a Diploma in fields like health, allied health, nursing, community services, social work, or early childhood education, that qualification serves as your first year toward the Psychology Degree.
Advance your professional journey in psychology, counseling, and mental health by building upon your Diploma with specialized training in social, community, and research psychology. Chisholm's Psychology programs follow an innovative Degree pathway model created within our Higher Education College, providing access to accredited Psychology programs through alternative entry routes.
Chisholm's Associate Degree and Bachelor of Psychology integrate the practical skills from health-related Diplomas with comprehensive training in psychological research, statistics, and theory. Our three-phase psychology program begins with your existing Diploma as phase one.
Phase two involves completing the Associate Degree component within one year. At this stage, students may choose to graduate with both their original Diploma and an Associate Degree in Psychology. Please note this option depends on enrollment confirmation and visa regulations; we recommend consulting directly with Chisholm International or an authorized education agent if considering this path.
