Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science in Melbourne Australia | Deakin University

Gain essential knowledge in psychology and human behavior. Accelerate your path to becoming a licensed psychologist or prepare for advanced studies.

The Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science (H603) provides graduates from any non-psychology bachelor's degree the chance to complete a psychology major sequence without needing to enroll in a full three-year undergraduate program.

This intensive one-year program (10 credit points) meets AQF level 8 standards and is undergoing APAC accreditation review in 2019. Successful accreditation will qualify graduates for further studies toward professional psychology registration.

The curriculum consists entirely of mandatory units with no electives. Graduates may pursue additional qualifications for full psychologist registration or enter diverse fields requiring undergraduate-level psychology training.

All ten units are required. International students must complete the program across three consecutive trimesters within 12 months, making Trimester 3 attendance mandatory.
