If you already have a degree in another subject, you can complete a Graduate Diploma in Arts or Sciences in psychology as a transitional qualification. The options for studying psychology at Massey are diverse - and because it is a subject that is commenced at university, you don't need to have studied any special subjects at school. All you need is a logical mind and willingness to learn. The School of Psychology at Massey University offers a wide range of undergraduate papers, particularly at 200 and 300 level. These papers will be described in more detail in the undergraduate web pages .
Students are able to prepare for specialised interests in several areas.
Alternatively they may complete a more broadly based degree in psychology which will equip them with many skills required by employers. The School of Psychology offers an extensive extramural programme, and it is possible to complete a BA or BSc degree, or a Graduate Diploma, through extramural study. The selection of 300-level papers varies from year to year. Almost all papers have contact courses associated with them, which are usually of two or three days duration. The Bicultural Committee and Maori staff play an important role in facilitating the development of this focus within the School.
