Clinical Research

A central requirement of the Master of Clinical Psychology is the completion of an appropriate empirical research project, supervised by a staff member in the Research School of Psychology (or affiliated Schools, Departments, and Institutes). In this course, students will produce a clinical research project, with demonstrable clinical relevance, for the Master of Clinical Psychology degree. Research projects must have an empirical element and can take the form of one or more of the following: - a program evaluation study; - a study based on an experimental single-case-study; - a critical review and meta-analysis; - a critical review and secondary data analysis; - a traditional empirical research project. To enrol and successfully complete this course, students must have negotiated appropriate supervisory arrangements in an appropriate area of research. Please note that if students have, as their primary supervisor, an academic staff whose primary appointment is outside of the Research School of Psychology, they must also secure an Advisor who is an academic staff whose primary appointment is within the Research School of Psychology.
