ProviderThe Cairnmillar InstituteThe Master of Professional Psychology (MPP) represents the first year of the ‘5+1’ pathway to general registration as a psychologist. The course prepares selected graduates of an APAC accredited fourth year course in psychology, who are eligible for registration as a provisional psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA), to meet the core capabilities and attributes required to practice. This course is now also available online.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
Applicants must have successfully completed an APAC-accredited fourth year course in psychology, obtaining a minimum weighted average mark of 70 overall and be eligible to hold provisional registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.
Applicants must be willing to undertake a Victorian Police Check and Working with Children Check if they are successful.
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.
