This course is only offered in on-campus study mode and is for graduates who hold a degree with an APAC-accredited major in psychology. It offers advanced study and research training in psychology along with an introduction to psychological practice through studies in developmental psychology, psychological assessment and intervention and ethical and professional issues in psychological practice. The course is designed both for persons wishing to undertake supervised psychological practice upon completion of the course as well as for those interested in pursuing advanced postgraduate training at masters or doctoral level. The course comprises a research project, including statistics and research design and four core units covering ethical and professional issues, psychological assessment, behaviour change interventions for practitioners and contemporary issues in developmental psychology. The sequence in which components are undertaken may be varied in consultation with the coordinator and within timetabling constraints, according to the experience, interests and career plans and enrolment status of individual students.
It is not advisable for a student to attempt the research project before undertaking the research and design component.
Eligible graduates may proceed to the further training and study required for professional qualifications in psychology.
