Iam a student at Massey university in New Zealand. They have several courses in Human Factors from basic to advanced level. All (or at least most) can be studied through a distant learning scheme. One paper specifically titled Aviation Psychology (paper no 190.217) is also available.

Massey University is at www.massey.ac.nz.
