This course prepares psychology graduates for academic/research and professional careers by providing advanced training in both research and the skills required for practice in clinical neuropsychology. It consists of a combination of coursework, supervised practical experience and a major research component culminating in a thesis of about 70,000 words. A feature of the course is that training in clinical neuropsychology is extended through specialisation in a choice of areas, including rehabilitation, child and adolescent neuropsychology, geriatric neuropsychology, psychiatric neuropsychology and forensic psychology. Clinical neuropsychology is a field which applies an understanding of the neural basis of cognition, behaviour and emotion to the assessment and treatment of adults and children with neurological disorders.The course prepares students for careers in a broad range of settings, including in acute hospitals, rehabilitation centres, aged care programs, psychiatric settings, paediatric facilities and private practice.The course has been accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council for the purpose of full membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and has been approved by the APS College of Clinical Neuropsychologists. In general, a further two years of supervised relevant experience will be necessary for registration as a specialist clinical neuropsychologist. On completion of the course, graduates may apply for registration as a psychologist in Victoria.
Eligible graduates may move into professional research careers or practice as Clinical Neuropsychologists
