Master of Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology

About

The Master of Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology is intended for those who aspire to excellence and leadership in the profession of clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology.

The program entails a research thesis, specialist placements and advanced professionally oriented coursework.

During the program, you'll complete coursework covering clinical skills and assessment, professional, ethical and interpersonal competencies, and evidence-based practice. You'll also receive advanced training in clinical reasoning and research to develop your understanding of clinical psychology and effective therapeutic practice. Additionally, you will be trained in the discipline of clinical neuropsychology through specialist coursework and placements.

You'll undertake a research thesis which will allow you to apply your skills and knowledge to deeply investigate your area of specialisation and build the foundation for your professional reputation and career.

During your studies you'll complete a minimum of 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice. These placements will give you an opportunity to apply your knowledge, broaden your clinical experience and develop your professional skills in a real life setting.

The program is recognised by the Psychology Board of Australia as providing suitable training towards eligibility for general registration as a psychologist. This program also has full accreditation with the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council. Graduates of the Program will be eligible to undertake Area of Practice Endorsement in the disciplines of both Clinical Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology.

At UQ, degrees are called 'programs' and subjects are called 'courses'. Here's a sample of the courses you could study in this program:

Cognitive behaviour therapies for adults
Assessment in psychological practice
Functional neuroanatomy and cognitive disorders
Clinical psychopathology

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Previous degree or professional experience

The previous study you need to have completed will depend on the program you want to study.

For most programs, you'll need to have completed an approved degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree. However, for some programs we'll consider other relevant experience, such as work experience.

For some programs, we'll only accept previous study in specific disciplines. This ensures you have the required level of subject area knowledge to succeed in your program.

Minimum grade point average

For most programs, you need to have achieved a minimum grade point average (GPA) in your previous studies. Your GPA is a measure of academic performance based on the:

grades you received, and
number of units you completed in a degree.

We use a 7-point grading scale, where a 4 is a pass and 7 is the highest grade. Different institutions use many different grading scales and methods for calculating GPAs.

When you apply, we'll convert the grades you received in your previous studies to the UQ grading scale. We may exclude certain non-academic subjects and include all failing grades.

Career

Postgraduate study can take you anywhere. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:

Clinical psychologist
Clinical neuropsychologist
