At the Open Polytechnic, psychology is located
within the Bachelor of Applied Science degree
where you can major in psychology or complete
a double major in psychology and communication.
If you want a taste of psychology, to see
if it is right for you, a good starting point
is a diploma, because it is a smaller qualification,
comprising just 6 courses.
Diplomas to begin with include the diploma
in psychology or the diploma in health and
human behaviour.
At higher levels we have diplomas specialising
in applied mental health, child and adolescent
psychology and organisational psychology.
If you go on to complete a degree your diploma
courses can be cross credited into the degree.
You will need to pass an online psychology
pre-entry test, which includes a quiz about
reading comprehension and numeracy skills.
This allows you to see if you are ready to
study psychology.
