Master of Psychology (Clinical)
Bond University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
About this program
A two-year degree that covers years five and six of the six-year pathway to registration as a psychologist, with a clinical specialisation. Entry requires an accredited four-year psychology sequence (bachelor plus honours or a graduate diploma) and provisional registration with AHPRA before starting.
Placements are central: a first internship in Bond's on-campus psychology clinic under staff supervision in year one, then a second internship plus two community externships under external supervision in year two. The program is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council. On completion graduates can apply for general registration with AHPRA and for the Australian Psychological Society's clinical college. Entry is competitive and based on prior grades.
