Masters (Coursework)
If you're a fourth-year Psychology graduate, this degree gives you a fifth year of training under the 'five plus one' model. You'll emerge with an APAC-accredited degree and 50 per cent of the requirements towards registration as a general psychologist.
The Master of Professional Psychology provides you with one year of the two-year registration process for psychologists. Once you have completed your second year and become fully registered, you'll be ready to make a real difference to people's lives in:
Registered psychologists evaluate and diagnose mental health patterns and provide consultation. Interning is available at organisations such as the Department of Family & Community Services, and the Department of Aging Disabilities & Home Care.
Occupational Psychologists apply psychological principles and techniques to study occupational behaviour, working conditions and organisational structure, and solve problems of work performance and organisational design.
Educational Psychologists investigate learning and teaching, and develop psychological techniques to foster the development and skills of individuals and groups in educational settings.
Academia involves being a Lecturer and/or Tutor as well as undertaking world-class research in psychology. As a teaching academic you prepare and deliver lectures and conduct tutorials in one or more subjects within a prescribed program of study and conduct research in psychology.
