The University of Queensland has one of the strongest Schools of Psychology in Australia. Its reputation is built on excellence in teaching, research, and service to the community. The School offers more than 50 courses at the undergraduate level, providing a thorough coverage of the core areas of psychology while giving ample opportunity to specialise in particular fields.
At Masters level, they offer a research degree and coursework programs in Clinical Psychology, Organisational Psychology, Sport and Exercise Psychology, and Applied Psychology. These degrees provide practical, professional training in specialist areas of applied psychology. In addition, they offer the Master of Counselling, jointly with the School of Social Work and Human Services.
Doctoral level studies may be completed through a research PhD. The school also offers a Doctor of Psychology program with fields of study in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Psychology & Clinical Neuropsychology, Clinical Psychology & Geropsychology, and Clinical Psychology & Health Psychology.
With approximately 50 full-time academic staff, the School provides an extensive range of research expertise covering biological, clinical, cognitive, developmental, health, organisational, and social psychology.
The School is internationally recognised for research strengths across the breadth of psychology, and attracts undergraduates, postgraduates, and postdoctoral fellows from throughout Australia and internationally. It has excellent laboratory and computer facilities. The School's research profile is enhanced by several research centres, some of which are collaborative with other schools. These include the Key Centre for Human Factors and Applied Cognitive Psychology, the Centre for Research on Group Processes, the Centre for Organisational Psychology, and the Queensland Centre for Mothers and Babies. In addition, the School has several centres that provide advanced level training in practice and research in psychology, at the same time as serving valuable community functions. These include the UQ Psychology Clinic (with the Division of Psychiatry), the Parenting and Family Support Centre, and the Sports Psychology Clinic. Academic staff with joint appointments with other schools and Research Centres add to the breadth of opportunities for study and research.
