Students will undertake 3 different placements each approximately 40 days. The total number of placement days must total 125 days.

Students are required to attend placement seminar classes and complete relevant written assignments while doing their placement.

2. Admission and enrolment requirements

Applicants for the MOP must have completed an APAC-accredited bachelor's degree with honours in psychology at a minimum of H2A level or equivalent qualification such as a postgraduate diploma (distinction level). Assessment of a student's suitability for the role of organisational psychologist will include an interview and referee reports.

Enrolment can be either full time (2 years) or part time (4 years). Preference will be given to full-time students.

Students who are working full time must carefully consider the commitment required to pursue a postgraduate degree. We will make every effort to schedule classes back-to-back and in afternoon/evening sessions to assist part time students. However, part-time students should anticipate that this program will require a half time commitment on your part. If you are not prepared to make such a commitment perhaps you should defer application.
