Master of Youth Mental Health (MC-YMHMO)

This course is delivered and assessed wholly online.

This course is delivered across six online terms per year whereby students typically enrol in one 12.5 credit point subject per online teaching term. This equates to a full-time study load of 0.75 EFTSL (equivalent full-time student load) per year. Please note, the course duration listed is based on a study load of 1 EFTSL – duration will vary for students taking a lesser study load and/or with advanced standing.

The Master of Youth Mental Health has been developed by the University of Melbourne's Centre for Youth Mental Health in collaboration with Orygen, a global leader in youth mental health research and knowledge translation, to strengthen the capacity of the youth mental health workforce both nationally and internationally. The course is designed for education and health professionals working in a range of clinical and community contexts and draws on contributions by world-leading experts in the field to provide students with the latest theory, research and evidence-based approaches in this specialised area of mental health. In the final year of the program, students complete a substantial capstone experience and will have the choice to complete an independent research project.

The course is delivered wholly online, with six online terms and is offered as a nested program, allowing students to exit with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma after completing the first 50 credit points, or first 100 credit points of study respectively.

This course is not available to international students who are holders of an Australian student visa, for study onshore in Australia as this is not a registered CRICOS course. This course is available to all other international students to study wholly online.
