University of South Australia Psychology School Overview

The Master of Psychology (Clinical) at UniSA has been developed to provide professional education and supervised practice in the area of clinical psychology. The program, which is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, has a strong practical focus and includes supervised placement experience with regular feedback. Four placement components throughout the duration of the program provide excellent networking and mentoring opportunities leading to a very high level of employment for graduates.

The program will develop skills in:

• psychological assessment
• providing evidence-based psychological interventions
• counselling
• professional and ethical practice of clinical psychology
• understanding of best practice in clinical psychology
• critically evaluating research in clinical psychology

Entry Requirements

Students are required to be minimally registered as a Provisional Psychologist, prior to entry into the program. For information on provisional registration please refer to the Psychology Board of Australia website. Students will also be required to have a National Police Check Clearance and to have completed Child Safety Environment Training within the last 3 years.

Completion of a four year qualification in psychology, normally an honours degree, accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council, within the last 10 years, with an upper second class Honours (2A) or equivalent overall mark, is a necessary condition of entry. Relevant prior professional experience and acquired skills will also be considered in the selection process through written application, references and an interview.

Under the Australian National Law, students must obtain provisional registration as a psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia before they commence their program of study, and for the duration of the program. In the event that the Registration Board refuses an application for provisional registration, the offer of candidature in the program will be rescinded – it is not possible to complete the program without holding provisional registration as a psychologist.
