Session 2 Learning and Teaching Update
The decision has been made to conduct study online for the remainder of Session 2 for all units WITHOUT mandatory on-campus learning activities. Exams for Session 2 will also be online where possible to do so.
This is due to the extension of the lockdown orders and to provide certainty around arrangements for the remainder of Session 2. We hope to return to campus beyond Session 2 as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Some classes/teaching activities cannot be moved online and must be taught on campus. You should already know if you are in one of these classes/teaching activities and your unit convenor will provide you with more information via iLearn. If you want to confirm, see the list of units with mandatory on-campus classes/teaching activities.
Visit the MQ COVID-19 information page for more detail.

Unit description |
Unit description
This unit comprises an overall workload of approximately 250 hours under the supervision of a qualified field supervisor. At this stage students will still be developing their knowledge of relevant clinical conditions, and the advantages and disadvantages of particular assessment procedures. However, the students should have the ability to seek the relevant knowledge, if this is not already available, and to begin to generate hypotheses about what to expect. The ability to interpret the test results in terms of neuropsychological functioning is expected. Report writing skills should be refined, initially with close supervision, but gradually developing more independence. Students are required to complete at least a thousand hours across all placements in the program to meet accreditation requirements. |
Information about important academic dates including deadlines for withdrawing from units are available at https://www.mq.edu.au/study/calendar-of-dates
