About this program

The Master of Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology at the University of Queensland is a comprehensive postgraduate programme that prepares students for the complexities of clinical practice in psychology. This two-year course is aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and is structured around semesters, where students undertake a series of units of study designed to deepen their knowledge and skills in clinical neuropsychology and psychology. The programme includes core units in psychological assessment, clinical interventions, and research methodology.

Students engage in a capstone project or research thesis that allows for hands-on experience in a professional environment. This work-integrated learning, including supervised placements in clinical settings, is crucial for applying theoretical knowledge to practice and gaining invaluable insights into patient care. The practical components are complemented by extensive classroom learning, enabling students to cultivate a robust understanding of the clinical field.

The skills gained through this master's programme include advanced assessment techniques, therapeutic intervention strategies, and critical thinking within clinical contexts. This course is suited for those who are eager to specialise in neuropsychology and clinical psychology, particularly individuals who are passionate about understanding cognitive processes and their impact on behaviour and mental health.
