Master of Clinical Psychology
Course Overview
The Master of Clinical Psychology is a 2-year full-time program that provides the training, skills and knowledge to enable you to practice competently and confidently in the psychology profession. Clinical psychologists aim to promote optimal levels of psychological functioning and to decrease levels of psychological distress. They have expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a broad range of emotional and behavioural problems, including anxiety, depression, stress, substance use disorders, adjustment to physical illness, relationship difficulties and learning disabilities. Through a combination of coursework, supervised practice and research, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge and professional skills in clinical psychology. You'll also develop a strong foundation in the scientific basis and practice of clinical psychology and receive training in clinical practice, which employs evidence-based, best-practice models in health and mental health settings. You'll build your skills and apply your knowledge through 1,000 hours of supervised clinical placements in a range of organisations, including not-for-profit, community services, hospitals and private practice.
