Notes
For each provider, the APAC accredited degrees are listed. For conciseness, some dual degree combinations and highly specialised programs from listed providers are excluded. Additionally, degrees such as "Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)" are listed simply as "Bachelor of Arts".
The required ATAR is as identified on the university websites. In instances where cut-offs are variable or not transparent, it reflects Lerna Courses' assessment of the approximate minimum ATAR (after adjustments) necessary to become a psychology student at the university.
The course satisfaction ratings are the latest approval scores by recent graduates of undergraduate psychology programs at the provider. These ratings capture the overall assessment of individuals who have completed the program around four months earlier.
Diploma in Psychology Online
An option for students uncertain about university study and committing to a bachelor's degree is to enroll in a Diploma in Psychology course. These are offered by some universities and essentially constitute the first year of a psychology degree.
After graduating from the 8-subject course, you can enter the university's bachelor program as a second-year student. Why consider this path? Entry standards may be lower, and you gain a qualification even if you decide to discontinue studying after one year.
Graduate Diploma in Psychology Online
For uni graduates with a degree in any discipline, you're eligible to study online for a Graduate Diploma in Psychology. This is equivalent to a psychology bachelor's degree in terms of preparation and progress towards becoming a registered psychologist.
The course offers significant advantages. It is shorter than a 3-year bachelor degree, comprising 10 subjects rather than 24. Participants can study in a focused manner and finish in just 20 months part-time.
