    Master of Clinical Neuropsychology

    About

    Clinical neuropsychologists are specialists who understand the cognitive, emotional and behavioural effects of brain-based conditions such as dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, autism-spectrum conditions, multiple sclerosis and psychiatric disorders. They provide assessments and treatment recommendations that may employ cognitive, educational, behavioural or psychosocial methods.

    Grounded in theory and practice, the Master of Clinical Neuropsychology will provide you with the knowledge, skills and qualifications you need to work within a range of clinically oriented areas. Upon graduation, you’ll be eligible for registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.

Applicants who completed their psychology undergraduate degree overseas are also required to prove that their qualifications are equivalent to those offered in Australia by submitting them to the Australian Psychological Society (APS) for assessment. Equivalency is determined by the APS; the outcome of the APS assessment must be submitted with the application.
