Course overview

The Master of Psychology (Educational and Developmental) prepares graduates to practise as educational and developmental psychologists in schools, hospitals, clinics, private practices and health-oriented facilities. Educational and developmental psychologists concern themselves with how people develop and learn throughout their lifetimes. They work in many different settings with individuals, couples, groups and organisations so may have varying titles, such as school psychologist, guidance officer, and child and adolescent counsellor. Educational and developmental psychologists also conduct psychological and educational assessment and instructional planning for exceptional children, adolescents and adults including learners with disabilities as well as those with strong academic and other abilities. Students complete four advanced-level units, three supervised placements of 125 days or 1000 recorded hours of practical experience, and a research thesis of 16,000 words. The minor thesis component of the course consists of an independent empirical investigation of a high scientific standard, directly relevant to the program. Accreditation: The Master of Psychology (Educational and Developmental) program has been designed for students who wish to practise as psychologists and seek membership of the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). The program is fully accredited by the APAC.
