Developmental & Educational Psychology – Schedule
Course Coordinator: Assoc Prof C Skilbeck
The program consists of coursework, supervised educational experience and a research
thesis. Candidates are required to complete 1,000 hours of supervised practical work over
the period of enrolment. Intending applicants should recognise that the three combined
elements represent a demanding program, requiring considerable commitment of time
and effort. In order to meet the requirements for continuing state registration and
professional accreditation by the Australian Psychological Society, core units will be
taught each year, while other components of the program are taught in alternate years.
Candidates may enter the course at the beginning of each year and those contemplating
part-time study are advised to consult the course coordinator to determine their program.
Normally, a thesis proposal must be produced within the first academic year.
