Overview

About this course

This transfer route lets students begin psychology in Colombo and finish the degree at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Perth, Western Australia. The Sri Lankan stage is the CIRP Diploma of Higher Education in Psychology (DHEP); the Australian stage is the ECU Bachelor of Psychology (AQF Level 7). CIRP's partner page describes the arrangement as full credit transfer. After A/L there are two options. In the 1+2 route you complete the first eight DHEP modules at CIRP and enter Year 2 at ECU. In the 2+1 route you complete all sixteen modules and join ECU for the final year. After O/L, students take the CIRP International Foundation first, which adds a year to either route. The DHEP also comes in variations such as Counselling, Child Care, Criminology, Sport Science, Business, HRM and Marketing; module requirements for these are given by CIRP advisers. The ECU degree is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, and the DHEP is accredited by the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) of Sri Lanka.
