Completing JCU Onlineâs Graduate Diploma of Psychology (Bridging) puts you in the same position as students who have completed an undergraduate psychology degree. All students will then go on to an additional year of accredited psychology studies. If you wish to pursue a general psychology pathway (or a pathway with an area of endorsement), you can complete an accredited fourth year of study in psychology.
