This course provides doctoral training in both advanced clinical neuropsychology and advanced research, qualifying you as a highly skilled clinical neuropsychologist able to assess and treat children and adults with neurological and psychological disorders.
All applicants must be able to demonstrate a capacity to carry out independent research and have adequate training and ability to pursue the proposed course of study.
The intensive coursework program includes units in neuroanatomy, neuropsychological assessment, ethics and professional practice, and neuropsychological rehabilitation. You'll apply this knowledge in a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical placements, exposing you to a diverse range of client groups. You'll also conduct a major, supervised, research program and produce a 60,000 to 80,000-word research thesis on a topic relevant to clinical neuropsychology.
The course is delivered by our Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences, within the School of Psychological Sciences. Our researchers lead the way in investigating how such factors as addiction, neurodevelopment, brain injury, ageing, mood disorders and sleep affect mental health and behaviour. Our teaching and research team comprises accomplished clinical researchers who have been internationally recognised through prestigious awards, as well as experienced practitioners and clinical supervisors who have been awarded for their educational excellence. Many of our staff maintain leadership positions for professional organisations in Australia and internationally.
More than 95% of our graduates are employed using their qualification, many of whom are in senior research and clinical positions in Australia and elsewhere.
