PROFESSIONAL TRAINING COURSES:
The Department of Psychology, Psychological Sciences offers professional training courses in the following areas:
• Clinical Psychology
• Clinical Psychology (Child Specialisation)
• Clinical Neuropsychology
Course Objectives
The purpose of the professional training programs is to train students in professional areas of the discipline of psychology. Each program is designed to provide:
(i) a grounding in the theoretical, conceptual and empirical foundations of psychology and in the skills relevant to the various areas of professional practice;
(ii) supervised practical experience; and
(iii) research training in the area of professional specialisation.
Accreditation
All Masters programs serve as approved fifth and sixth year for membership of the relevant college of the Australian Psychological Society.
Admission Requirements
Eligible applicants for the professional training programs must normally possess a degree including an accredited four-year sequence in psychology (or its equivalent) of at least H2A (or Distinction) standard in the fourth year of study.
Admission also depends on supervision and resource availability.
Selection criteria :
Selection into professional programs is based on academic performance and a selection interview.
A weighted average is calculated for each applicant using results from third- and fourth-level psychology subjects. The average of third-level subjects accounts for a third of the overall weighted average.
This can be expressed as follows: (average of 3rd-year + average of 4th-year + average of 4th-year) divided by 3 = Weighted Average.
All results are converted to the University of Melbourne scale where an H1 is equivalent to the range 80% - 100%.
Applicants are then ranked according to their weighted average and the top ranked applicants are shortlisted for a selection interview.
Ultimate selection into the course is dependent on the applicant’s performance in the interview, which is designed to assess their suitability for clinical practice.
It should be noted that students are only considered for selection if the weighted average of all third- and fourth-year psychology subjects is at least 75% (when converted to the University of Melbourne scale).
