Students should note that completion of the MPsych is prima facie a qualification for membership of the Australian Psychological Society and registration as a psychologist in the State of Victoria. In addition, each of the three programs presently offered satisfies the academic training requirements for membership of the various boards of the APS (ie Board of Counselling Psychologists, Board of Educational and Developmental Psychologists, Board of Forensic Psychologists) and registration as a specialist psychologist in the State of Victoria. In general, a further two years of supervised practice is necessary for full membership of these boards and registration as a specialist psychologist.
For all of the various programs in the MPsych, the entry requirements are the same: four years approved study in psychology. Intending applicants should ensure that they possess such qualifications.
Inquiries regarding the specific programs in counselling psychology, child and educational psychology and forensic psychology should be addressed to the course coordinators.
