About this program
Adelaide University's Diploma in Psychology Studies is the one-year pathway exit award within the Bachelor of Psychology, covering the same first year of study and giving students a recognised qualification if they choose not to continue to the full degree, or a direct credit pathway back into it. Adelaide University's Bachelor of Psychology builds on twelve core psychology courses common to every specialisation in the suite (Cognitive Neuroscience, Counselling and Interpersonal Skills, and the general stream), meaning students can defer choosing a specialisation without falling behind, since the differentiation mostly happens in fourth-year honours options.
