Overview

Key features

Professional training at the Clinical Psychology program at Rhodes University was first offered in 1975 — to a single clinical psychology student — under the direction of Professor Dreyer Kruger. At that time, it was one of only two such programmes offered by English-medium universities. We now train twelve students annually, six in Clinical Psychology and six in Counselling Psychology.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

One year of academic and practical training;
A research mini-thesis;
A one year internship at an accredited training site;
The national examination set by the Professional Board for Psychology;
One year in a community service placement, a government paid post.
