About the Program

The Master of Psychology (Clinical) program began in 1971. The School’s theoretical orientation has primarily been one of experimental empiricism, and the Clinical program adheres to the scientist-practitioner model for clinical training. The program has an emphasis on cognitive-behavioural approaches to the understanding and management of clinical problems. The program concerns itself with adult, adolescent and child clinical psychology, neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation.

The program is accredited as fifth and sixth years of study leading to full membership of the Australian Psychological Society and to membership of its College of Clinical Psychologists, and to registration as a Psychologist in New South Wales.
