Ph.D. in Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers programs in four streams: Applied Social Psychology, Cognition and Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology, and Culture, Human, and Health Development. We have a strong emphasis on research in a wide spectrum of topics, including laboratory and applied projects.

Applied Social Psychology
Trains students to conduct basic and applied social psychological research. Specifically, the program offers training in social psychological theory, research design and methodology, statistics, program evaluation, along with many independent research opportunities. Unique to this program is the emphasis placed on students obtaining research-based experience through diverse practicum and internship placements. Faculty interests are currently: acculturation, body image, criminal justice, diversity, gay and lesbian issues, immigration, intergroup relations, prejudice, reproductive health/mental health, sexuality, and stereotyping.

Culture, Human and Health Development
This program seeks to understand developmental processes in cultural context and across the lifespan. It is built upon interdisciplinary research and training with primary strengths in developmental, social, and clinical psychology as well as cultural and medical anthropology. The program emphasizes qualitative as well as quantitative research approaches, and research in both the local and global contexts.

Cognition and Neuroscience
Designed for students who wish to focus primarily on basic research and theoretical issues leading to scientist's positions for basic psychological research in university, hospital, community, industry, or government settings. This program offers two areas of specialization: Behavioural Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. Typically, students enrol in the Masters program for one year and then transfer to the Ph.D.

Clinical Psychology
Accredited by both the Canadian Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. It follows a scientist-practitioner model, blending scholarly research with professional skill training. The program trains clinical psychologists for employment in academic, research, clinical, community, and private practice settings. Typically, students enrol in the Masters program for one year and then transfer to the Ph.D.
