Postgraduate Diploma in Arts - Psychology

About the course

The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Psychology) will build on your undergraduate psychology degree. You’ll study in more detail the thoughts, feelings and actions of individuals and groups in social and cultural contexts. Studying psychology will help you make sense of the human impact on the world. The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Psychology) can also be your pathway to a higher research degree. You can combine it with a Master of Arts by thesis (120 credits) to gain the coursework and research components for entry into programmes that lead to registration as a psychologist (the Postgraduate Diploma in Industrial/Organisational Psychology and the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychological Practice). Massey graduates more researchers and clinical psychologists than any other university in New Zealand. We’re connected to a wide range of community and statutory organisations, and produce unique and applied psychology research and training that’s recognised nationally and internationally. This expertise enhances the reputation of your degree and ensures your knowledge is relevant to today’s society.
