In Australia, you’ll need to complete six years of education and training to practise as a registered psychologist – four years at undergraduate level and two at postgraduate level This master degree is the sixth and final year of your study. It provides specialist knowledge in clinical psychology – one of the nine areas of practice approved by the Psychology Board of Australia. Clinical psychologists assess psychological disorders in individuals, groups and families, and administer programs of treatment. In this course, you’ll build an advanced understanding of mental health and physical health, as well as develop your clinical skills by putting theory into practice. You’ll examine complex psychological disorders in adults, children and youth, including their cause, assessment, diagnosis and treatment. You’ll also develop your professional skills in navigating ethical and professional challenges, working with the public and managing conflict.
Over two 50-day clinical placements, you’ll build and apply your skills in a real-world setting, practising core clinical skills such as assessment, case conceptualisation and treatment under the supervision of a registered clinical psychologist. You’ll also undertake an independent research project, planning and conducting research, analysing your data and completing a dissertation. When you graduate, you can apply to complete a registrar program to gain endorsement as a clinical psychologist within Australia. Note that the application deadline for this course is earlier than for most postgraduate courses. See the application deadlines page for details.
