Graduate Psychology Degrees at Australian Universities

In Australia, psychology is taught at the university level. To be able to register to work as a psychologist in Australia, graduates must complete a four-year/Honours degree, followed by two years of either study in a specialist area or supervised practice.

OzTREKK's Australian universities offer professional training via Master's and Doctor of Psychology degrees. The programs comprise professionally oriented coursework, supervised practical training and major research dissertation.

Entry into the above programs is highly competitive, and there are normally only a few places each year for international candidates in these programs. Interested candidates should have completed a four-year honours degree, including a thesis or major research project, and have achieved high academic standing. International student tuition fees for postgraduate Psychology programs in Australia range from $17,000 to $29,000 AUD per year. Living expenses are in addition to tuition fees.
