Overview

Master of Psychology (Clinical)

This course is for graduates of a four-year accredited psychology program. 

This is intended to meet the requirements for general registration as a psychologist and to prepare for entry into a registrar program leading to an area of practice endorsement in clinical psychology with the Psychology Board of Australia.

The Master of Psychology (Clinical) at UOW provides a comprehensive program of study of psychology's professional practice, including assessment, intervention, communication and ethics. 

It also provides specialised training and supervised practice in clinical psychologists' assessment and intervention skills. 

Supervised research is also undertaken over the two years of study.

The program includes subjects in clinical assessment and interventions, psychotherapy and research. 

Students are also required to complete a research project - facilitated by structured research subjects - in each of the two years of the program.

Teaching methods include a combination of lectures, workshops, skills training, and online and supervised work-based practicums, both at the University's Northfields Psychology Clinic and at external placements. 

The emphasis is on skills training, including demonstration sessions, audio-visual recording of assessment and therapy, case presentations, role-play activities, and feedback and reflection.
