PSY7286 12.5 Credit Points<br />
Advanced Clinical Practice 1<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Prerequisite :<br />
PSY6292 Practice Issues 3: Clinical Psychology<br />
The aim of this unit is to allow students to report on their clinical<br />
work, to formally present such work to lecturers and fellow<br />
students and, thereby, to be able to critically evaluate their own<br />
clinical practice. Links between clinical practice and<br />
psychological theory and research are emphasised. The unit will<br />
enable students to integrate clinical and academic aspects of<br />
training, thus emphasising the scientist-practitioner model. The<br />
focus is on clinical problems likely to be encountered in the third<br />
year of training on placement. There will also be more emphasis<br />
on difficult and complex cases. Learning Contracts, agreed<br />
between lecturer and student, will ensure that all core<br />
competencies and experiences listed in the Core Competencies<br />
Handbook are acquired in the third year of the program.<br />

FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Prerequisite :<br />
PSY7286 Advanced Clinical Practice 1<br />
The aim of this unit is to encourage students to report their clinical<br />
work, and to formally present this work to peers and colleagues,<br />
thereby critically evaluating their own clinical practice. Links<br />
between clinical practice, psychological theory and research are<br />
emphasised. The unit will enable students to integrate clinical and<br />
academic aspects of training, and the focus is on clinical problems<br />
likely to be encountered in the third year of training and final<br />
placement. There will be emphasis on difficult and complex cases,<br />
and on additional modes of psychotherapy. Learning Contracts,<br />
agreed between lecturer and student, will ensure that all core<br />
competencies and experiences listed in the Core Competencies<br />
Handbook have been acquired throughout the three-year program,<br />
especially during Doctoral level practica.<br />

necessary to work in a nuclear medicine/Positron Emission<br />
Tomography department dispensing diagnostic<br />
radiopharmaceuticals according to the Australian Code of Good<br />
Manufacturing Practice. A degree or equivalent in pharmacy,<br />
chemistry or physics is required for this course.<br />
RAD0002 30 Credit Points<br />
Positron Emission Tomography Technology<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This intensive unit will introduce students to basic principles of<br />
radiochemistry and radiopharmacy. Students will develop<br />
necessary skills to work in a nuclear medicine/Positron Emission<br />
Tomography department dispensing diagnostic<br />
radiopharmaceuticals at Good Manufacturing Practice level and<br />
operate Positron Emission Tomography/Computed<br />
Tomography camera to scan patients. The unit requires students to<br />
have a nuclear medicine technologist qualification or experience.<br />
RAD0003 30 Credit Points<br />
Clinical Positron Emission Tomography<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This intensive unit will introduce students to the basics of<br />
radionuclide physics and radiation safety, and to the<br />
various aspects of clinical Positron Emission Tomography<br />
(PET), including normal 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( 18 F-<br />
FDG) uptake, PET artifacts, PET & PET/Computer Tomography<br />
(CT) in lymphoma, PET & PET/CT in glioma and the role of PET<br />
& PET/CT in lung carcinoma. This unit is intended for practising<br />
physicians.<br />

Applied Social Science Research<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
This is an introductory unit in applied social science research<br />
methods. The unit is designed to prepare students for advanced<br />
studies in both qualitative and quantitative research methods and<br />
their application.<br />

Religious Education Studies<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
This unit is designed for students who aspire to teach in a<br />
religious school setting. It explores issues in curriculum design<br />
with particular emphasis on major learning outcomes related to<br />
religious education. It aims to equip students with basic skills<br />
necessary for participation in a religious education program.<br />
REE5106 15 Credit Points<br />
Encountering Religion<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
The theme of this unit is the human search for meaning and<br />
purpose in life. To examine this theme, students will be<br />
introduced to diverse belief systems, with emphasis on historical<br />
development and significant beliefs. Other aspects such as rituals<br />
and ethics will also be explored. Application to the classroom<br />
setting will be addressed.<br />
REE5107 15 Credit Points<br />
The Christian Tradition<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />

Master of Arts Thesis<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
The Master of Arts by Thesis consists entirely of research. The<br />
purpose of the thesis is to train students in the use of research<br />
methodology and techniques and in a critical evaluation<br />
appropriate to their field of study. By the end of their candidature<br />
the student should be capable of conceiving, designing,<br />
implementing and evaluating a research based study.<br />

Research Preparation: Methods of Research<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
This unit is designed for students without prior training in<br />
research methods in the social sciences. It is assumed that students<br />
have not yet begun the design of a postgraduate research study<br />
(Honours, Master or PhD) or are at an early stage in the design of<br />
that study. For this reason the unit addresses both quantitative and<br />
qualitative research methods, recognising that most postgraduate<br />
students will choose one or other of these paradigms to frame<br />
their inquiries. The unit will provide the foundations and address<br />
the fundamental issues in social science research. It cannot<br />
encompass every possible research method. Students will be<br />
expected to build on these foundations when adopting a particular<br />
method for their research study. Students will be expected to<br />
develop basic level skills in applications of statistics in the social<br />
sciences. It is assumed that students have basic computational<br />
skills. Notwithstanding the limitations described above, the unit<br />
will require a sophisticated understanding of the basic concepts<br />
and issues and students will be expected to contribute at a<br />
postgraduate standard of competence.<br />

Research Preparation: Qualitative Approaches<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
