Undergraduate Certificate in Psychology

Psychology encompasses aspects of human behaviour using tested theoretical frameworks to examine, explain and predict what we do as individuals and in groups.

In this course you'll be introduced to formal studies of the human mind. You'll learn about the scientist-practitioner model of psychology, exploring the scientific mindset and the role of ethics in psychological research and practice. You'll also have the option to study either child developmental psychology or health psychology.

This course is a fantastic chance to learn about the different career paths psychology has to offer. Once completed, you'll qualify for entry (and credit!) for Curtin's Bachelor of Psychology. And because you'll study part-time and with a choice of online or on-campus study, you'll be able to fit your study around your current lifestyle.
