Undergraduate

Despite popular belief most psychology graduates work with people who are mentally healthy. Psychological graduates tend to find employment in three areas: as psychologists, in general graduate positions, and as psychological scientists (often in applied research settings).The main areas in which psychologists are employed include clinical, organisational, health, community, counselling and educational/developmental psychology.Psychology is an excellent preparation for broader graduate employment. Psychology graduates gain analytical, quantitative, report writing and communication skills that are focused on the issues and problems confronting human beings.Psychological science is an exciting career option with employment opportunities in the private and public sector as well as in universities and can involve designing interventions to solve human problems and researching how people function in different environments.

A pass degree in psychology provides an excellent grounding in the field. An honours degree or fourth-year diploma provides additional training in research and substantive psychological skills. This is essential for admission to associate membership in the Australian Psychological Society, for registration as a psychologist in the ACT, and for enrolment in most graduate degree programs. Qualification for the independent practice of psychology, or employment in academic and medical institutions, typically requires graduate study leading to a degree of Master of Philosophy, Master of Clinical Psychology, Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DPsych (Clinical)), Doctor of Philosophy, or Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology).
