Associate Diploma in Psychology (Ass.Dip.Psych)

Course Outline

The associate diploma in psychology has been developed to cater for the needs of those who want to go beyond the advanced certificate. It will equip the student with a broad knowledge of different areas of psychological study, and a solid foundation for further study. Those wishing to take up employment as psychologists will need to study to degree level and ultimately to a masters level.

• Modules/Subjects
  The modules in this course provide a broad scope for study within the field of psychology. Students will be expected to complete all of these modules successfully and any exams entailed in order to achieve the award of associate diploma.
• Research Projects
  Successive research projects will build on and reinforce the core learning.
  Each research project is 100 hours duration and contains 2 parts: the first part assists the student in developing research skills, whilst the second part involves carrying out a relevant research project.
  
  • Research Project I
    This develops the student’s ability to plan and conduct research, and involves a minor statistical research project and report.
  • Research Project II
    This further develops the student’s ability to monitor and evaluate a common process (or processes) relevant to their studies.
• Industry experience (100 hours):
  This may be achieved through business meetings, seminars, workshops, through direct work experience or a combination of all of these. Those who already have sufficient relevant work experience can apply for recognition of prior learning.
  If a student elects to gain experience through workshops, then it is the student’s responsibility to arrange attendance at those workshops and to meet any costs incurred, whether at the school or elsewhere.
