Master of Psychology - Clinical

UNSW's Master of Psychology (Clinical), running since 1971, follows the scientist-practitioner model for clinical training with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioural approaches to understanding and managing clinical psychological issues. The program covers adult, adolescent and child clinical psychology alongside neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, grounded in the School's long-standing theoretical orientation toward experimental empiricism rather than other clinical psychology traditions. It suits psychology honours graduates who want registration as a clinical psychologist through a program with a genuinely evidence-based, empirically grounded approach to clinical training, distinguishing it from clinical psychology programs with a different theoretical orientation. The program's decades-long track record gives it an established reputation within Australian clinical psychology training.
