Graduate Diploma in Business Psychology (exit award)

The Graduate Diploma in Business Psychology is an exit award at the University of Queensland rather than a program you apply for directly. Students enrol in UQ's Master of Business Psychology, a program built for professionals who want to apply psychological principles to workplace leadership, performance and collaboration without pursuing registration as a psychologist, and this diploma is awarded to those who complete the equivalent of the first year of coursework before choosing, or needing, to withdraw. It covers areas such as performance psychology, group processes and team dynamics, data driven workforce analysis and leadership within organisations, delivered by UQ's psychology school in partnership with its business school. Because it sits between the shorter Graduate Certificate in Business Psychology and the full Master of Business Psychology, it suits someone who started the master's with a career goal in mind and got most, but not all, of the way through the coursework requirement. UQ separately markets standalone Graduate Certificate and Master of Business Psychology programs for students who want a defined entry point.
