    Graduate Certificate in Child Development

    About

    The Graduate Certificate in Child Development gives professionals from non-psychology backgrounds specialised skills to apply psychological principles to their work with children, improving outcomes for children with diverse needs. If you work in education, nursing, juvenile justice, social work or any other field involved with young people, this program will give you a highly-valued suite of psychological skills.

    The Graduate Certificate in Child Development is a unique offering in Australia. Delivered entirely online, it will equip you to apply an evidence-based approach to your work with children. You will gain an understanding of typical - compared to atypical - child development; age-appropriate capabilities and performance expectations; factors that influence attention, learning, and memory; the development, management and treatment of common childhood disorders; and factors that promote well-being and resilience.

    As the program is delivered online, it is suitable for students who prefer to study in a flexible format, balancing study with work and other commitments. It also offers an introduction to the study of psychology that may lay the groundwork for further higher education in psychological sciences. This program runs on the UNSW online hexamester calendar.
