UTS Master of Clinical Psychology
Ian: I’m Ian, I’m Professor of Clinical Psychology here at UTS and I coordinate the Master of Clinical Psychology training program that prepares people for cutting edge work as a clinical psychologist.
UTS is a creative, flexible training program. It offered a start-up of a new way of doing clinical psychology, incorporating all the latest technologies, all the creativity that UTS is famous for in a way that led to positive clinical interventions for individuals.
What you can expect from teaching at UTS is a very applied approach to learning, collaborative learning with your peers as well as from our lecturers.
Important to say, many of our lecturers wrote training manuals and treatment manuals, so you’re literally going to be learning from people who write the book.
But you’ll be learning on your feet. You’ll be working with colleagues as well as our clinical staff, experts in the field. Develop practical skills in clinical psychology.
What’s unique to UTS I think is while many places offer hands-on learning through placements, it’s the preparation we give here, not only in foundational skills and cognitive behavioural therapy, but what we call third wave conveyed therapy. So, acceptance and commitment therapy, schema therapy.
You not only get an introduction to those more advanced therapies, but clinical training that provides you with the ability to apply skills in practice to hit the ground running once you’re qualified.
Isaac - Master of Clinical Psychology student: The best think about the Master of Clinical Psychology at UTS is the practical course components. So, we all go on a placement at UTS whether internal or external, and that means they get that real world practical experience. Learning it out of a book is very different to applying it with a client. We get to practice all these different kinds of therapies with real people to make a real difference.
Pat - Master of Clinical Psychology student: The MCP at UTS is accredited by the board, which means everything we learn here is approved and supervised by the board. So, we are in good hands because everything we learn is going to come to our accreditation with the psychology board. I really value the quality here; we know we are in good hands.
Tess - Master of Clinical Psychology student: One thing I appreciate about the Master of Clinical Psychology at UTS is that the academic teaching staff treat us like colleagues and we’re very much respected, supported and treated equal to one another in the space we work in. And that really fosters a collaborative work experience and work environment.
Ian: Come to Clinical Psychology at UTS. You’ll be our colleagues in training, we’re passionate about clinical psychology, its ability to make a difference. We see you as the future of something we’re passionate about, and that future includes leading technologies, AI, and the best preparation you’re going to get.
