Master of Clinical Psychology

The Master of Clinical Psychology (MC002) has specific high English language requirements. You must achieve an IELTS (Academic) minimum overall band of 8.0 with no individual band below 8.0; or a TOEFL iBT minimum overall score of 110 (with minimums of 29 in Reading, 28 in Listening, 26 in Speaking and 30 in Writing); or a PTE (Academic) minimum score of 79 with no communication band less than 79. C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency tests are not applicable for this course.

The Master of Clinical Psychology (MC002) has specific minimum English language requirements that are set higher than the standard postgraduate coursework threshold (which is IELTS 6.5). For this course, an IELTS score of 8.0 with no band below 8.0 is required, reflecting the high level of English proficiency necessary for clinical practice with patients.

For standard postgraduate coursework entry at RMIT, you may meet English language requirements by demonstrating at least 2 years of professional work experience in an occupation requiring English language proficiency, supported by an official employer statement. However, the Master of Clinical Psychology also has specific English language test score requirements (e.g. IELTS 8.0), so you should confirm with RMIT whether the work experience pathway applies to this specific program.

No, IELTS (General) is not accepted for admission into RMIT university programs. Only IELTS (Academic) or IELTS (Academic) One Skill Retake is accepted, and for the Master of Clinical Psychology, the minimum required overall band score is 8.0 with no individual band below 8.0.

English language proficiency test scores are valid for 2 years from the test date. Tests which fall outside of this validity period will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, RMIT does not accept scores from 'at-home' or 'online' testing.
