Master of Psychology (Clinical)

The Master of Psychology (Clinical) takes 2 years (6 semesters) to complete. Bond University notes this is equivalent to the Fifth and Sixth year of the required six-year pathway, and describes it as the fastest pathway to becoming a registered practising psychologist — with the full 6-year pathway completable in just 4 years and 8 months.

Students complete a series of placement experiences under the supervision of highly qualified and experienced supervisors. In Year 1, you will begin your first internship at the Psychology Clinic located on campus under staff supervision. In Year 2, you will complete a second internship and two externships in a community setting under external supervision. The program also provides extensive access to the Cognitive Research Labs and the Psychology Test Library.

Applicants will need to have completed the accredited four-year sequence of a Bachelor's degree and a Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science or the Honours year. You will also need to apply for provisional registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) before commencing the Master's program.

Upon successful completion of program requirements, graduates are eligible to apply for full registration as a Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), entrance into the clinical psychologist registrar pathway, full membership of the APS, and associate membership of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.
