Print version

Course overview

This program combines the coursework and practicum requirements of the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council accredited Master of Psychology (Counselling) degree with the thesis requirements of the PhD program. Students begin by undertaking coursework units of the Master of Psychology (Counselling) degree (at least one unit of which involves a research project), while also preparing their research proposal for the PhD. Continuation to the PhD program is granted if performance on all components meets the required academic standard. Graduates will gain advanced psychotherapeutic skills and competencies necessary for registration and practice in counselling psychology, and in addition, complete an applied research thesis of between 80,000 and 100,000 words which will be an original and substantial contribution to counselling psychology. A wide variety of thesis topics related to modalities of counselling psychology and lifespan psychotherapy are possible, subject to available supervision.
