Clinical Psychology
As a society, one of our biggest challenges is tackling mental health. Mental illness can affect people at all stages of life, just as it can impact families, carers and communities. Our clinical psychology courses will teach you to tackle mental health head on.
When you study clinical psychology at Swinburne, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise in psychopathology. You’ll learn to assess and treat clinical disorders including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, alcohol dependence, childhood disorders and psychogeriatric conditions.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have completed an accredited placement — and you’ll be ready to work as a psychologist in a clinical context.

Kambô is an oozy substance harvested from the defensive skin secretions of the Amazonian giant monkey tree frog. In the traditional medicine of some indigenous peoples of the Amazon, Kambô is applied to superficial burns on the skin of participants to produce an intense purging effect.
