After completing a graduate diploma course, can I enroll in a Master of Professional Psychology course and then enter a registered program in UK/Ireland?
Yes, after completing a graduate diploma in psychology, you can usually apply for a Master of Professional Psychology, as long as you meet the entry requirements for the program and country.
- Ireland: A graduate diploma may help you qualify for an accredited MSc in Psychology, but you must check if it is accepted by the Psychological Society of Ireland and your chosen university.
- New Zealand: Your diploma could meet the postgraduate requirement for a master's, but confirm its equivalency with the New Zealand Psychologists Board.
- Australia: A graduate diploma may satisfy entry for a two-year Master of Professional Psychology, provided it meets Australian Psychology Accreditation Council standards.
- UK: A graduate diploma may help you apply for an accredited MSc in Psychology, but confirm recognition with the British Psychological Society and your target university.
- USA: Typically, a graduate diploma is not enough for entry into doctoral-level psychology programs, which are usually required for licensure.
Requirements and recognition vary by country and are subject to change.
