Development Across the Lifespan is offered both as a single unit, or as part of the Bachelor of Psychology and Counselling. This unit provides students with a thorough understanding of human development. Students will learn the key theories of human development and consider the biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional development of individuals from the prenatal period to the final stages of life. You will also gain familiarity with the methodologies used to answer important questions relevant to the field of developmental psychology.

Development Across the Lifespan would suit those with an interest in psychology, or human-service professionals wanting to deepen their knowledge of developmental psychology. Taught at Bachelor level (AQF 7), you will have the choice as to whether you undertake assessments in this unit or not. Those undertaking assessments may use this unit as a credit towards the Bachelor of Psychology and Counselling at The Cairnmillar Institute. Or, you can enrol directly into this degree for a Semester 2 start!*

Please note, single subject enrolment does not guarantee students a place in a Cairnmillar program of study. Eligibility criteria and recognition of prior learning restrictions do apply. For all enquiries, please contact to our Education team. 

*Applications are open for single unit admissions, as well as direct enrolment into the Bachelor of Psychology and Counselling. Applications will be forwarded to the Course Coordinator for an informal discussion prior to admittance.
