Program aims

The Undergraduate Certificate of Psychology Fundamentals aims to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the literacy, critical thinking and e-literacy demands of higher education studies. In addition, this program will provide students with foundation knowledge of psychology and a broad introduction to the practice of psychology. The Certificate provides students with a broad introduction to the academic culture of university studies and the discipline of psychology. The Certificate will provide students with an enhanced understanding and knowledge of foundational issues, principles and strategies needed in order to be successful in the first year undergraduate level of study. The program will appeal to those who want to enhance and develop their broad study skills prior to enrolling in a more specialised degree program, or opting instead to graduate with a new sub-degree qualification.
