Overview
The Graduate Diploma in Psychology allows students who hold a degree in an area other than psychology to become eligible to apply for admission to the Psychology Honours program at Flinders without completing a second undergraduate degree. It may also be suitable for graduates who completed a psychology major three or more years ago or who qualified at an overseas institution.
Further information about the Graduate Diploma and how to apply can be found at the School of Psychology's Graduate Diploma in Psychology page.
The Master of Psychology (Clinical) prepares graduates as clinical practitioners in psychology. The program combines coursework, practical experience under supervision and a research orientation to problem solving. Part-time (no less than half-time) is possible if suitable arrangements can be made.
Advanced studies are provided through the Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology), which involves coursework and a thesis.
