Handbook

This course is the first in the series of research units that form part of the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced) program. In this course students are guided in the processes of identifying a research question, conducting a literature search, and outlining a research design for the purposes of writing the introduction chapter of the thesis. This course will draw upon and enhance students’ existing body of psychological knowledge and established skills in information synthesis and problem-solving. Students will gain knowledge and practical experience in the stage 1 implementation of a research project in psychology via a combination of online instructional videos and activities, small-group seminars, and one-on-one academic supervision. This course is taught entirely online.
