As a clinical psychologist you may be employed in a wide range of practice-related fields including outpatient, inpatient, counselling, educational, forensic, health and other settings that focus on assisting people across the lifespan, from children through to elderly. You may also be employed in teaching and research settings. Upon graduation, you may work in both the private sector and the public sector, including hospitals, government departments and agencies.
The course is supported by two full-time clinical psychologists appointed at the level of Associate Professor and a number of both part time and casual appointments. Clinical psychologists develop skills in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a wide range of psychological disorders. This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to gain entry to this exciting and challenging career path. The course is grounded in the scientist-practitioner ethos where the building of theoretical knowledge is integrated with the graduated and supported the development of clinical practice skills.
The Master of Clinical Psychology course at CQUniversity is an accredited 5th and 6th-year psychology course that, upon successful completion, allows you to apply for both registrations as a generalist psychologist and enrolment in the relevant registrar courses for endorsement as a clinical psychologist. Completion of the Master of Clinical Psychology also provides you with the opportunity for membership with the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
The Master of Clinical Psychology is an intensive two-year course, currently offered internally at the Rockhampton campus. The first year of the course is centred around the Wellness Centre which is the university psychology clinic. This is a busy public clinic where you will have the opportunity to work in a supportive, supervised environment to build practice skills with adult and child therapy and assessment referrals. In the second year of the course as a sixth year student, you extend your clinical practice skills with two external placements. Currently, the course offers student placements at public and private inpatient mental health services, community-based outpatient mental health services, including Child and Family Services, AODS and Aboriginal Health Services. Other student placements are offered with NGO organisations, the local correctional centre, Headspace and Medicare Local.
