DoP Non-Award Course: Clinical Psychiatry

In October 2025, the Department of Psychiatry launched its new non-award course called the Clinical Psychiatry Course.

The course has already seen several enrolments come through, with more expected over the next month.

This course is one of the first of its kind to be launched by our department, following an extensive consultation process with key stakeholders.

Designed primarily for future psychiatry trainees undertaking the RANZCP training program, the Clinical Psychiatry Course offers an accessible and affordable pathway that complements our existing programs. It will be delivered in a hybrid format, combining face-to-face and online learning to provide flexible access to high-quality teaching regardless of location.

While it serves as an alternative to the Master of Psychiatry, the non-award course maintains a strong clinical focus and meets all requirements to prepare trainees for excellence in psychiatric practice. The Master of Psychiatry, a flagship program of the department, will continue to offer a more comprehensive academic experience for students seeking in-depth learning and access to research modules.

Enrolments close in January 2026, see more information and application details for the Clinical Psychiatry Course here.
