Graduate Diploma in Social Science
Why study the Graduate Diploma in Social Science at UNE?
The Graduate Diploma in Social Science is a program designed to add specialised training in the social sciences to an existing tertiary qualification. The existing qualification need not be in the Social Sciences. The Diploma can be used as an end in itself or to provide a student with the qualifications necessary to enter further study (e.g. an Honours fourth year of study) in a particular discipline. This program in Psychology is an accredited program with the Australian Psychological Society to allow entry to a APS accredited 4th year in Psychology (see Bachelor of Social Science with Honours).
