In addition to evidence-based learning material, several of RMIT’s psychology qualifications offer supervised work-integrated learning opportunities, including industry placements and internships. You could be gaining experience in hospitals, clinics, health facilities, or justice organisations, all before you’ve even graduated.
These can even include global opportunities. In 2022 for example, a group of Bachelor of Psychology students had the chance to complete an internship in Indonesia, delivered in partnership with the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD).
With one in two Australians estimated to experience difficulties with their mental health at some stage of their lives, skilled mental health nurses are critical in providing effective treatment and support as part of wider mental health services.
