Combined research and coursework degrees
The School of Psychological Sciences offers three combined degrees:

- Doctor of Philosophy/Master of Clinical Psychology
- Doctor of Philosophy/Master of Organisational Psychology.
These combined Masters/PhD degrees provide training in both doctoral level research and professional psychological practice.
There is no direct admission to the combined masters/PhD degree. Candidates first require admission to the relevant master’s program. Learn more about the entry requirements for the postgraduate coursework programs.
After the completion of one semester in the master’s program, candidates are invited to submit an expression of interest to the combined masters/PhD. If the requirements are met, the applicant will be invited to apply for both a scholarship and admission to the masters/PhD in their discipline.
