Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science Student Study Planner
The course is delivered over one year and one trimester full-time (or part-time equivalent). Reflective of the College’s trimester model, a standard annual full-time enrolment pattern is 8 units per year undertaken as 3 units + 3 units + 2 units. The course can be undertaken faster, over a one year period, by completing 3 units each trimester or any combination of 9 units over the three trimesters.

** IMPORTANT
It is the recommendation of the School of Psychological Sciences that commencing students do not enrol into the three core psychology units (PSYC1012, PSYC1022 and PSYC1032) during the same trimester of enrolment. This recommendation is in recognition of the workload involved in each of these units and is offered to best support commencing students to achieve the best possible outcomes in these foundation units. Please see our recommended sequencing of unit completion here.
