ProviderUniversity of the Sunshine CoastThis one-year postgraduate program prepares you for independent work in psychology, focusing on practical experience and skills. Learn at the Thompson Institute, a world-class hub for mental health research, teaching and clinical services, close to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. The Institute addresses mental health in the community, particularly for youth, adolescents and older community members. In this program you will advance your knowledge of psychological assessment with a focus on selection, administration and interpretation of major psychological tests. You will extend your knowledge of appropriate treatments for psychological disorders and how to deliver services ethically and within legal requirements and develop skills in writing different kinds of psychological reports.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
The entry requirements for admission to the Master of Professional Psychology are: Successful completion of an APAC accredited four-year degree or fourth year in Psychology with Honours Class 2 Division I from a recognised higher education institution in the last 10 years.
Applicants must be eligible for provisional registration as a psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia via the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
If your current English result is below direct entry, consider the university-recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package; successful completion at the required level can usually satisfy English entry without another English test.
