About the course
The Master of Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology) focuses on how diseases of the central nervous system, particularly those affecting the brain, influence emotion, behaviour and cognition in adults and children. Students learn from experts active in the field and undertake extensive supervised clinical placements across diverse services such as neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, geriatrics, rehabilitation and paediatrics. The program is designed to develop advanced psychological knowledge alongside research and inquiry skills relevant to clinical neuropsychology practice.
What you might learn
Students develop specialist knowledge of brain–behaviour relationships and the affective, behavioural and cognitive manifestations of neurological conditions across the lifespan. The course aims to build advanced competencies in evidence-based assessment, formulation and intervention relevant to clinical neuropsychology, supported by substantial supervised placement experience. Graduates also strengthen professional practice capabilities and research-informed decision-making to support ethical, effective care.
Career outcome
Graduates may pursue roles in hospitals and health services, rehabilitation settings, mental health services and specialist neuropsychology clinics working with neurological, psychiatric and developmental presentations. Career paths include clinical neuropsychology practice involving cognitive assessment and treatment planning for people with brain injury or neurological disease across adult and paediatric populations. The qualification supports eligibility for generalist psychologist registration in Australia and entry into the PsyBA-approved registrar program in clinical neuropsychology.
