Overview

About the Master of Psychiatry

Delivered by the Department of Psychiatry and fully accredited by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP), the Master of Psychiatry from the University of Melbourne is perfect for medical practitioners aiming to elevate their expertise in psychiatry and advance their careers.

Beyond exploring theoretical concepts and their application to clinical practice, the course provides a deep understanding of cultural and sociocultural diversity within our communities. This perspective equips graduates to understand better the relationship between mental illness and individual experiences in our geographical region and beyond.

Programme Structure

What you will learn

An understanding of evidence-based aetiology, diagnosis, formulation, assessment, management, and prognosis for the major categories of psychiatric disorder

You will develop an integrated understanding of psychological and scientific theories, so when formulating patients, consideration is given to their genetic risks or vulnerabilities, as well as the psycho-social context within which the presentation occurs.

The evolution of human behaviour through the life cycle from a developmental perspective

You will be able to describe key developmental life stages, the social and biological factors involved in normal and abnormal development and the onset, progression, history and treatment options of specific common child and adolescent psychiatric disorders; and apply the bio-psycho-social approach to the assessment and treatment of child and adolescent disorders at different developmental stages.
