Master of Applied Psychology

N/A

54057-FT/PT

This is a Master’s level programme for graduates with a psychology major who are looking for systematic training in the latest advances in assessment and practice methods used in various professional psychology settings.  The programme aims to provide a well-balanced foundation in assessment, intervention, research and evaluation. Over 1 or 2 years, a solid identity as an applied psychologist with functional competencies in these areas will be established.

The teaching faculty members of the Department of Applied Social Sciences have a long history of being active in multi-year and territory-wide research and consultancy projects that reflect the policy priorities of Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. This background has resulted in the development of a unique curriculum that includes direct and innovative instructional strategies, and in some cases first-hand exposure to the large-scale implementation of experimental programmes in education, health and social care.

Upon successful graduation with good academic performance, students who hold Hong Kong Psychological Society (HKPS) membership may consider applying for registration after obtaining at least one year of post-qualification experience in a psychology discipline deemed acceptable to the Council. The final decision remains at the discretion of the HKPS Council.

Some alumni of the programme have successfully embarked on further studies in professional training schemes and pursued doctoral and other advanced research degrees at leading universities locally and overseas.
