About Master of Science - Psychological Therapies
Each year, mental health problems such as anxiety and depression will affect 1 in 4 people, including 1 in 10 children, at an anticipated global cost of $6T by 2030. Psychological therapies, especially cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), provides a safe, effective solution to many of our most common mental health problems.
The full-time programme is aimed at applicants who are recent graduates or those looking for a change in career who do not hold a core clinical qualification or equivalent. The university takes applicants from graduate status and provide general clinical skills training and specific CBT training. The programme incorporates a clinical placement based at the Centre for Psychological Therapies which is led by applied psychologists with extensive clinical experience.
The programme equips students with advanced knowledge and critical understanding of:
- Psychological models of change as they apply to children, adolescents and adults, including principles of assessment and formulation.
- Theories of normal and atypical cognitive, social, and emotional development as applied to therapeutic models.
- The empirical evidence for the effectiveness of psychological interventions with a number of the most common mental health problems within a developmental context.
Graduates can expect to gain employment in clinical services or private practice as mental health practitioners.
