Clinical Psychology
As a society, one of our biggest challenges is tackling mental health. Mental illness can affect people at all stages of life, just as it can impact families, carers and communities. Our clinical psychology courses will teach you to tackle mental health head on.
When you study clinical psychology at Swinburne, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise in psychopathology. You’ll learn to assess and treat clinical disorders including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, alcohol dependence, childhood disorders and psychogeriatric conditions.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have completed an accredited placement — and you’ll be ready to work as a psychologist in a clinical context.

Insomnia and mental disorders are linked. But exactly how is still a mystery
The 2004 movie The Machinist gives us a striking depiction, albeit a fictional one, of the psychological effects of chronic insomnia. When people don’t have enough sleep, their memory and concentration are impaired in the short term. They are also less able to regulate their emotions.
