The Masters in Clinical Psychology at the University of Cyberjaya is a full-time course that starts in January and runs for 2 years.The Cyberjaya training programme is a recently established course.
It is a good idea to ask new courses how they arrange placements for their trainees. Trainee Clinical Psychologists need to learn by working under the supervision of an experienced clinical psychologist. There are a limited number of clinical psychologists in Malaysia and only a small proportion of them are able to offer placements for trainee clinical psychologists. Some of the newer courses have found it difficult to find psychologists who can offer supervision to trainees.
