Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology) is designed to provide students with the opportunity to pursue doctoral level research in specialised areas of clinical psychology and to complete coursework topics and field placements to meet eligibility requirements for membership of both the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.
The overall aim is to produce scientist-practitioner clinical psychologists who are able to make a substantial contribution to knowledge in clinical psychology through completion of their PhD and to assume leadership roles in the professional, research and academic spheres of activity.
This program is not available to students who have completed a Masters degree in clinical psychology and are considering PhD studies. Such students must enrol in a PhD by research.
