Becoming a certified Psychologist in Brisbane


Question Posted Thursday May 6 2010, 5:20 am

I would like to become a psychologist (Child) in Brisbane, Australia and I wanted to get into QUT (Queensland University of Technology).. I'm excluding the other possibilities, such as studying the Bach of Science or Bach of Art, of becoming a certified psychologist who will be able to open up my own practice.

They (QUT) dont offer Bach of Psychological Science, but they offer Bach of Behavioural Science (Psychology).. So I was wondering, even though Bach of Behavioural Science is for 3 years, and not 4 years, like the other options.. With that degree, would I be able to fulfill my dreams, and become a certifies Psychologist? And then do 2 years of supervised practise to get my Masters.
Is this possible? I was trying to find some info on this stuff on the QUT site, but it just throws me about..

Thank you!

You need to check with your Masters program. Generally speaking, all that matters is what they require, which is likely going to be the 4 year degree. It's possible that the other degree might serve, it's possible that in 4 years you could get both if enough classes overlap and you can just take a few summer courses or something.

But the answer is with the colleges you will apply to for your masters program. Find out what the post grad group wants, because you might even have one school which takes the 3 years and another that requires the 4.

It's likely though, that some might allow the 3 years and most will accept the 4, so going with the 4 year degree is likely (statistically) to be the safer option.
