The information contained in this publication is indicative of offerings available for 2013 and subsequent years.  This information is correct at the time of going to press, but may be subject to change.  Whilst all reasonable efforts will be made to ensure listed papers and programmes are offered and regulations are up to date, the University reserves the right to change the content or method of presentation, or to withdraw any course of study, or impose limitations on enrolments should circumstances require this.

Honours and Masters Level Taught Papers

Please remember that acceptance into Postgraduate Diploma, Honours or Masters Programmes does not guarantee your acceptance into specific papers.  Several 700-level papers in the School of Psychology have enrolment limits of twenty-five students per offering.  It is advisable to enrol for your papers as early as possible in order to maximise your chances of being accepted into a specific paper on your preferred campus.

Block Mode

Most taught papers are offered in block mode, however a few are taught in Extramural mode.  In both instances, this means that the course materials are posted to the student who is expected to work consistently across the whole semester of enrolment.  In addition to written materials and assignments, there is an on campus course of four or five days for each paper.

Attendance at on-campus courses is COMPULSORY

Special Topics
Special topics may be undertaken by students wishing to design an individual course of study with lecturers. The special topics are 15 or 30 credits in value, and may be taken on any campus. Special topics are negotiated with individual lecturers. No more than 30 credits of any degree programme may consist of special topics. You must NOT enrol for these papers until you have found a staff member who is willing to supervise you.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Papers

175.761 is part of the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Programme.  This paper may be taken as part of any postgraduate course of study. Class size is limited and priority is given to CBT diploma students then Clinical training students.

175.762 – 175.764 are part of the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Programme.  Only students who are accepted into the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can take these papers.

Psychological Practice Papers

Note:  These papers are only available to students accepted into the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychological Practice.

 All four papers are conducted in extramural mode, but please note that both 175.851 and 175.852 include a ­compulsory block during which attendance is required on campus.

A pre-internship workshop is provided to successful applicants.  Scheduled in December, this workshop is designed to ensure that all students commence their internship with a functional grounding in the professional skills needed to begin training.  Attendance at this workshop is strongly recommended.
