Take Your First Step Towards a Flourishing Life
Cultivate a Life of Meaning, Joy, and Resilience with our Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology
Get StartedMany people struggle with feeling unfulfilled, unproductive, or disconnected.
These challenges often arise from focusing on fixing problems rather than building on strengths and positive qualities. The Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology (GDAPP) assists in shifting the focus from merely repairing the worst aspects of life to cultivating the best ones.
Positive psychology is the science of happiness, well-being, and flourishing, and it has been proven that happier individuals are more productive, creative, healthy, successful, and socially engaged.
This graduate-level programme emphasises practical applications over theory, teaching students:
-
To increase personal happiness -
Foster positive relationships -
Utilise their strengths for career and life progression.
Unlock your potential and help others thrive with our Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology.

Hear from Our Graduates
“The Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology builds a very strong foundation for me to understand the concepts of Positive Psychology. This immensely helped me when I progressed to becoming a practitioner, and when I went on to complete my Masters programme in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at University of East London. The programme has helped me get to know myself deeper on a personal level, especially regarding my character strengths. This inspired me to set up my own company to provide well-being training programmes for the community, schools and organisations, to help them learn effective tools and strategies to improve their wellbeing.”
Matthew Koh,
GDAPP graduate (2019)
“I learnt SO MUCH at TSPP! I enjoyed learning from the educators who shared their knowledge. The papers that we had to sit for and projects we worked on could get stressful but I learnt a lot through research and retained a lot of knowledge from these endeavours. It has helped me become a better person in my approach towards life’s problems. I also made many changes in my life since attending classes at TSPP.”
Stacey Nonis,
GDAPP graduate (2017)
“I was hesitant to sign up for a course mid-career but that decision turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. The new learnings helped to spur a new interest in an academic area that I was not trained in 20 years ago as a graduate. Adult learning may be tricky at first, especially when juggling a full-time job. The School of Positive Psychology understands what adult learners face and provides support to ease us to a good learning pace, and that is what allowed me to learn at a pace that was reasonable.”
