I'm graduating from a b. sci at usyd and I'm interested in doing the grad dip in psych at bankstown or penrith (I'm just below a credit avg, so usyd's grad dip won't accept me). I ordered the information pack from uws, but it didn't give me any more info than what I got from the uws website! lol
What I want to know is how difficult it is to get into psych (I'm assuming uws' grad dip is the same as usyd's in that the grad dip students study alongside undergrads). The good unis guide said it was of avg difficulty to get into bankstown and easier to get into penrith. Is this true? I don't know how much faith I should put in the good unis guide.
Also, after the honours year (or post grad dip year), is it absolutely necessary to go on to a master's? My psych lecturer at usyd said that some people do two years internship under an accredited psychologist. What's the difference? Is it the opportunity to do research/gain greater research skills, different available job prospects, etc.?
Sorry for the huge ass post, I've been wondering about this for a while
