Course description
Enrolment Note:This course has a delayed enrolment date and will open following the allocation of Honours streams. Students will be advised of the specific date each year when their Honours stream is confirmed and should contact the School of Psychology for further information.
This course will critically examine the history and current status of the scientist-practitioner model with a particular emphasis on how practitioners can incorporate an evidence-based approach across a range of applied psychology disciplines. The course will be broadly divided into three components: Principles of Evidence-Based Practice; Principles of Assessment and Psychometrics; and the Scientist-Practitioner in Action.
