If you want to start your journey towards
becoming a registered psychologist, then
the Graduate Diploma of Psychology is
for you. You're learning in this program
will be highly specialised and focused.
You'll start off with some foundation
units in psychology that look at
introduction to research methods and
statistics. From this you'll expand your
knowledge in various psychology units,
such as developmental psychology,
cognitive psychology and also advanced
psychometric assessment. There are many career outcomes upon graduating from
this program. So things within the
community, such as a support worker there
are government places that allow you to
work in child protective services. This
program will also allow you to go into
the field of research in hospitals or
community or the private sector, but most
importantly the completion of this
degree will allow you to apply for your
fourth in your sequence in psychology. It
will take you about two years to
complete the diploma if you're studying
full-time or a bit longer if you're
studying part-time. This is the first
step in the pathway to becoming an
accredited psychologist. After this
diploma you can then apply for your
fourth-year sequence and then go on
further and apply for your fifth and sixth year sequence.
