Master of Professional Psychology
Course Overview
The Master of Professional Psychology (MProfPsych) is a fifth-year program in psychology, open to graduates of an APAC accredited fourth-year (or equivalent) psychology program. The MProfPsych program is designed to provide graduates in psychology with an additional year of education in the professional practice of psychology. This year prepares graduates for a final year of supervised practice prior to general registration as a psychologist. The MProfPsych program provides students with an opportunity to learn and demonstrate their knowledge and skills in the 8 core capabilities and attributes as required to practice psychology. This program includes a simulated practicum unit as well as an external placement which enables students to translate their theoretical knowledge to professional and simulated environments to enhance their skill development. This program offers students the ‘5 + 1’ pathway to registration as a psychologist through this supervised practice pathway.
