Postgraduate Structured Program 2009
Welcome to the School of Psychology
The Postgraduate Structured Program has two components
- The Core Component involves attendance by all incoming students at a weekly series of seminars throughout Semester I and beyond. Please note also that the Core Component includes attendance at School Research Seminars, generally on Thursdays within semesters from 12.10-1 pm in Room 526, although there are some exceptions, as detailed below.
- The Development Component, which extends for the duration of candidature. It may include continuing training beyond the initial Semester 1 series of seminars, for example additional work for individual students to prepare them for their research. It may also include opportunities to undertake additional training relevant to future professional development.
Please note that University policy requires attendance at Core Component sessions. If you are unable to attend because of sickness or other personal reason, please advise.
All seminars are scheduled for Room 526 on the following dates from 12.10-1pm unless otherwise noted.
