The study of the human mind and behaviour, and understanding why we do what we do is unique to psychology.
As a registered psychologist, you can apply your behavioural expertise to areas including cognition, neuroscience, or social and developmental behaviour. Career opportunities encompass wide ranging areas, such as:
Studying psychology courses at QUT will provide you with a stimulating program of studies and practical placements that prepare you to become a registered psychologist specialising in your preferred interest area. You will gain substantial foundational knowledge and develop practical skills to practice as a provisionally registered psychologist under the guidance of our experienced supervisors. A Master of Clinical Psychology will further build your skills in conceptualising and treating clinical presentations using a range of integrative psychotherapeutic approaches. A Master of Psychology (Educational and Developmental) will prepare you to assess, diagnose and treat people facing issues that impact their educational and developmental progress.
'The highlight of my degree was being able to work in research with a professor at QUT. We worked on a project looking at beliefs and attitudes towards organ donation in Australia. Understanding why people do the things they do is probably one of the most interesting things about this course.'
