The
School of Psychology attracts very able students into its graduate
psychology programs which offer specialisation in clinical and health
psychology, counseling psychology, organisational psychology,
rehabilitation counselling and addiction studies. Research staff have
established national and international reputations in the above areas as
well as in cognition, community psychology, developmental psychology and
motor skills. Psychology is one of the fastest growing disciplines in
the health and human service sector.
The
course was developed in conjunction with the undergraduate curriculum
for the Bachelor of Science (Human Communication Science). In this way,
the equivalence of the competencies of graduates from both the
undergraduate and postgraduate professional entry-level courses is
ensured. The program is tailored for suitably qualified graduates from
other disciplines who want to become speech pathologists. The
opportunities for speech pathologists are diverse, with practitioners in
high demand. To practise as a professional psychologist in Western
Australia, graduates must register with the WA Psychologists
Registration Board.
