Career outcomes
Overview
Upon completion of this course, you will be eligible for entry to a one-year internship and to sit the National Psychology Exam and then apply for registration as a Generalist Psychologist.
You will be clinically trained and upskilled to work at a broader population-level focused on key societal issues such as understanding community behaviour change. As a generalist psychologist, you will be ready to apply your skills in assessment and treatment with a wide range of clients with mild to moderate mental health conditions.
This involves optimising personal, social, educational, and occupational adjustment and development across areas such as:
- mental health and wellbeing
- education and training
- population health
- drug and alcohol
- corporate and commercial settings.
In contrast, Clinical Psychologists typically work with clients with more severe and complex mental health conditions, with training provided through the University of Melbourne's Master of Psychology programs. More information the courses can be found:
