In the first year, students complete eight compulsory courses totaling 96 credit points, including Foundations of Practice 1 and 2, Assessment and Intervention 1 and 2, Internal Practicum 1 and 2, and Thesis 1 and 2. These subjects establish a strong foundation in professional knowledge, assessment techniques, intervention strategies, practical skills, and research methodologies while providing supervised clinical or professional experience through internal practicum placements. In the second year, students undertake a further 96 credit points of advanced study, including Specialist Practice 1 and 2, Internal Practicum 3 and 4, External Practicum 1 and 2, and Thesis 3 and 4. These courses focus on developing advanced professional competencies, specialised intervention skills, and the ability to apply evidence-based practice in complex settings. The inclusion of both internal and external practicum placements ensures students gain substantial real-world experience under professional supervision, enhancing their readiness for practice. The thesis sequence spans the entire program, allowing students to conduct in-depth research and contribute to professional knowledge in their discipline. Overall, the program integrates theoretical learning, practical training, and research, producing highly skilled graduates prepared for advanced professional and clinical roles.
