What Is this Course?
A Graduate Certificate of Psychology is a short postgraduate course for people who may have no formal background in the field. It's introductory but allows for targeted study in specific interest areas.
In terms of becoming a psychologist, this course is a small step. Graduates need to do further study beyond the four subjects. Normally, an additional six subjects are needed for a Graduate Diploma, equivalent to a Bachelor of Psychological Science. Beyond that, an advanced graduate diploma (equivalent to an honours year) and a professional master's or equivalent training are required to become a registered psychologist.
The program at James Cook University is valuable for offering a relatively short course, the graduate certificate, which delivers a university qualification in the field. Graduates are well-placed to continue their studies if they wish to become psychologists. JCU is well known for its graduate diploma bridging course, which is available fully online for part-time study.
