Monash University
Graduate Diploma in Psychology
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationTake the first step towards becoming a registered psychologist, or gain a psychological perspective you can utilise anywhere. This flexible course, accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC), allows you to do both.
A career as a registered psychologist is a deeply rewarding one, and the Graduate Diploma in Psychology can set you on that path. Dive into the latest contemporary trends in psychology, such as the use of Psilocybin in mental health, and become familiar with authentic counselling skills – all delivered by our subject-matter experts. You’ll also learn practical psychological concepts that can be applied in both your everyday life and a range of industry settings, such as human resources, marketing, teaching and mental health.
