Key Facts

This full-time, three-year professional course of study is a clinical training programme that is completed alongside a Master's or PhD research thesis. You'll graduate with a PGDipClinPsyc and a Master’s or PhD degree, and may be able to work as a clinical psychologist within health, corrections, or a range of community settings. Combining clinical and PhD research training may also lead to a career in academia.

You can complete the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology program from Victoria University of Wellington alongside the specialist Master's programme in Forensic Psychology or Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience. In the first year of the clinical programme, you will start your Master's thesis. You'll need to discuss these options with both programme directors first.
