approved course of psychology and who wish to develop skills and experience in
counselling. It will be especially suitable for registered psychologists
wishing to upgrade their qualifications, and international students seeking a
one-year course in counselling psychology. The Master of Counselling degree
prepares graduates to practise as counsellors (but not as psychologists) in a
range of settings including hospitals, community centres, schools, tertiary
institutions, private practices, industry, health-oriented facilities and other
similar places.
