Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis trains students in the science and practice of applied behaviour analysis, teaching empirically supported assessment and intervention strategies used in clinics, homes, schools and workplaces to help people with diverse needs build skills and independence. Core units are verified against the fifth edition BCBA task list, giving graduates a curriculum that maps directly onto the requirements for board-certified behaviour analyst credentialing rather than a general psychology overview. The course covers early intervention, general and special education, and specialised behaviour support, deliberately connecting research evidence to day-to-day practice rather than staying theoretical. It suits people working in or moving into early intervention, disability support, inclusive education or behaviour support roles who want formal accreditation-aligned training in applied behaviour analysis specifically, rather than a broader psychology qualification that only touches on the discipline in passing.
