Master of Counselling
University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia
About this program
A part-time, 36 credit point postgraduate counselling degree delivered mostly online over about two years, with 12 study blocks. It combines counselling theory and skills with supervised practice: 200 hours of placement in an approved agency plus a compulsory five-day in-person intensive. Students should expect to travel for placement, and regional students may need to relocate if they cannot secure one locally. Entry is open to graduates from any discipline. The course is accredited by the Australian Counselling Association, so it supports the pathway toward professional registration and membership as a counsellor. Graduates work in mental health services, community organisations, employee assistance programs, schools and private practice. It suits people moving into counselling from another career who want a recognised qualification with a substantial supervised practice component.
