Graduate Diploma of Psychology

This program is aimed at preparing graduates of any discipline for entry to fourth year psychology courses and acts as an accredited bridging program.

Entry requirements

Completion of an undergraduate degree in any discipline, or equivalent from an approved institution.  Students who have not completed an introductory psychology subject (eg Introduction to Psychology: Biology and Personality, or Introduction to Psychology: Learning and Social) together with an introductory statistics subject (eg Statistics & Data Analysis I), will need to complete these two pre-requisites in addition to the degree requirements (see below).  For these students, the program will take a minimum of three semesters to complete, and admission will be January semester only.

Students who have completed the pre-requisite subjects will be able to complete the program in two semesters, if commencing in May semester only.

Accreditation

This program is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) as an approved bridging program for entry into a 4^th year of study in Psychology.

Work Experience

There are currently no provisions in this program for Work Experience and Internships.

Attendance

Most students undertake four subjects per semester (equivalent to 40 credit points). You may, however, enrol in fewer subjects and extend your degree over a longer period.

Bond's Teaching methodology involves a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, examinations, projects, presentations, assignments, computer labs and industry projects.

* Students wishing to commence study part-time may enrol in January, May or September semesters.

+ After commencing part-time, it may be possible to convert to full-time enrolment status at the next scheduled full-time intake.  Please contact the Program Advisor for details.
