Degree Overview

Completion of the course will lead to a number of career opportunities worldwide, including in research, teaching, and applied settings. Students might use the course as a stepping stone to specialised PhD study. Furthermore, although the course does not culminate in a practitioner qualification, its content is highly relevant to those who eventually wish to apply for training in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, or coaching. The course is taught by a range of experienced psychologists, which includes a mixture of academic psychologists and practitioner psychologists. Our diverse teaching team includes those who specialise in areas such as mental health, psychological well-being, clinical psychology, life coaching, and counselling. Staff in the Division of Psychology are currently undertaking research related to mental health and well-being, including research across different cultural contexts. Teaching facilities include a dedicated laboratory and practical work areas, an observation suite and a vision research laboratory.
