• In order to be considered for entry, applicants must have completed:
   

  Meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection.
   

  • within the last 10 years, an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited four-year undergraduate sequence in psychology (namely a three-year major in psychology as part of an undergraduate degree plus a fourth year Honours specialisation in psychology or equivalent) with a weighted average mark of at least H2A (75%) or equivalent; and

  • Personal statement (no more than 500 words) which outlines why you wish to be considered for the course and your relevant skills. While relevant work/volunteer experience is not a course entry requirement, applicants who have undertaken relevant work/volunteer experience may wish to include this as part of their personal statement.
     

  • two referee reports to be submitted online; and

  • attend a selection interview (short-listed applicants only).
     

In ranking applications, the Selection Committee will consider:
 

• Prior academic performance; and

• Suitability for clinical training as determined by the interview, personal statement and referee reports.
   

The Selection Committee may seek further information to clarify any aspect of an application in accordance with the Academic Board rules on the use of selection instruments.
 

Note:
 

• The weighted average is calculated one third from third year psychology subjects and two thirds from fourth year psychology subjects.
  
  Applicants are required to satisfy the university’s English language requirements for postgraduate courses. For those applicants seeking to meet these requirements by one of the standard tests approved by the Academic Board, performance band 7 is required.
