The Doctor of Clinical Psychology is a professional doctoral program designed to train future clinical psychologists. Admission to the DClinPsy is limited to citizens and permanent residents of New Zealand and Australia. This specialized area of psychology encompasses both clinical practice and research. The program merges hands-on clinical training with innovative research to equip students for professional practice. Students begin with a foundation year focused on Clinical Psychology before advancing to the three-year DClinPsy curriculum. Selection for the Clinical Psychology program involves an application and interview procedure. Prospective students need an undergraduate psychology degree, New Zealand or Australian citizenship/permanent residency, and applicable work experience (whether paid or volunteer).
