Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology/Doctor of Philosophy

Monash University

Educational and developmental psychologists assist children and adults with learning and developmental issues by providing assessment, intervention and counselling services. The course aims to develop graduates with the therapeutic skills involved in educational and developmental psychology. Students develop high professional standards in the administration and interpretation of a comprehensive range of psychological, educational and developmental tests and assessments, and the planning, implementation and evaluation of evidence based interventions with individuals and groups. Graduates will develop as independent specialist professionals with a commitment to learning across the lifespan of the theoretical, research, assessment, and therapeutic skills involved in educational and developmental psychology. Graduates provide counselling and support to people of all ages, across a diverse range of organisations including primary and secondary schools, health and welfare services, care facilities, and within business and corporate environments. The PhD qualification will also allow graduates to work as academics in tertiary settings.
