Student review

The Monash GDPA is an APAC accredited course which is very professionally delivered. It involves 10 units each comprising 6 weeks of 25 hour a week course material, activities, live class and assessment.Assessments include essay, giving presentations, report writing and brief recording of counselling practice. Each group of around 25 students is assigned a tutor who gives assistance and feedback on assignments. I found it to be exceptional, and have seen my writing abilities vastly improved. Access to advice through tutors is easy and you feel well supported. The course is well paced, with two-week rests between units and opportunities to take intermission if needed. The Moodle platform is easy to use and you learn how to handle statistics, use of the SPSS statistics package with expert statisticians. I felt well supported through their Student Support system and would highly recommend this course to any considering pursuing Psychology.
