加拿大研究哲学心理学专业博士学位

The normal minimum requirement for admission into either of the two programs (MA - PhD in Clinical Psychology or MA - PhD in Experimental Psychology) is the Honours Bachelor in Psychology, or its equivalent, including an Honour's thesis or an equivalent individual research project. In addition, course requirements include a course in History and Systems of Psychology (or its equivalent), and two courses in statistical analysis (or their equivalents). If these course requirements are not met at the time of admission, the candidates will be required to complete them within the first two years of graduate studies. (For the program in Clinical Psychology, in order to meet a component of the academic requirements for enrollment with the College of Psychologists of Ontario, a minimum of twenty undergraduate psychology courses is required for admission.)

Each file is assessed to determine whether equivalences will be granted on the basis of courses completed at the master's level. Candidates for the clinical program with fewer than 21 units of equivalencies will be admitted to the MA level while those with 21 or more units of equivalencies will be admitted directly to the PhD.

Exceptionally, admission to the Experimental Psychology program is possible on the basis of a four-year Honour's degree in another discipline relevant to Psychology, with a letter of support from the prospective supervisor. The degree must include a thesis or an equivalent individual research project and the equivalent of at least 36 units (12 one-term courses) in Psychology, including statistics and some research experience.

Note: Students with a strong background in mathematics, physical sciences, biological science or computer science are especially encouraged to apply.

Only students who intend to complete the doctorate are admitted. Those holding an Honours Bachelor in Psychology are admitted to the MA program and are permitted to transfer to the PhD after one year, provided their performance in courses and research is satisfactory. Those already holding a master's in psychology are admitted directly to the PhD program.
