Master of Applied Psychology in Clinical Psychology

Qualify as a practising clinical psychologist and make a direct contribution to improving the mental health and well-being of individuals and communities. In addition this degree qualifies you to work as a clinical psychologist for the health department and all other government services.

Develop your practical experience in real-life clinical environments

Become skilled in prevention, research, intervention, and evaluation techniques through supervised training at our modern Psychology Clinic. Here you will gain hands-on experience working with real clients. All of the supervisors are experienced and currently practicing clinical psychologists. This supervision is supported by intensive coursework units.
