Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology)
The Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) is a fee-paying professional master’s course designed to develop competent clinical psychologists who will receive thorough training in evidence based clinical psychology theory and practice. For this reason, it is only open to graduates having at least the equivalent of an accredited four-year psychology bachelor degree within the AQF framework. It is designed to help you reach the third 'rung' of the qualification ladder – general registration with Psychology Board of Australia (opens in a new window)(PBA) and has been accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (opens in a new window)(APAC).
The course provides thorough training in the knowledge and skills necessary to understand dysfunctional behaviour and psychopathology, and to implement effective evidence-based interventions including cognitive behavioural therapy. You will complete specified coursework, a research thesis, and 1,000 hours of supervised experience in clinical and other appropriate settings.

Graduates of this Masters program are eligible to be employed in the field of clinical psychology, and to be registered as a general psychologist with Medicare Australia.
