Entry requirements

For international students

A three-year Bachelor degree in Psychology accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council or equivalent, as assessed by the Australian Psychological Society. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology completed more than 10 years ago will likely be required to complete additional units to demonstrate their competencies required to enter the course. The Academic Chair will consider applications on a competitive basis and recommend students for admission based on an assessment of the student's preparedness to succeed in the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced), and on current teaching resources available to the school. Normally, only students with a credit average or better in their undergraduate psychology units will be considered. In some cases, the Academic Chair may recommend a student for admission, but will require the student to demonstrate their readiness for the course by completing additional designated units offered in earlier years than the fourth year. The number of students accepted into the course will be determined on a semester-by-semester basis, and will depend upon available resources.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
