Overview

The Master of Psychology (Clinical) degree is the standard preparation program providing professional training and practise in clinical psychology. It consists of three major components: specialised coursework in a series of topics relevant to clinical practice, research thesis and three long field placements aimed at developing professional competence under the guidance of highly experienced supervisors. The program has two key objectives. The first is to provide thorough theoretical and clinical skills preparation in core areas to meet formal requirements for entry to the profession (as determined by its accrediting bodies). The second is to prepare graduates to assume responsibility for continuing self-monitoring and development, skills that are essential to ongoing employment in the profession.
Successful completion of the program will enable graduates with an advanced level of training in clinical psychology to apply for full registration of the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA); to apply for membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS); and to undertake supervised practice leading to Endorsement in Clinical Psychology with the PsyBA and / or membership of the College of Clinical Psychologists of the APS.
The Master of Psychology (Clinical) is an AQF Level 9 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 2 years.
