PhD in Psychology in Montreal Canada | Concordia University

The Psychology PhD program focuses heavily on research, with students typically specializing in one of four key research fields: behavioral neuroscience, clinical and health studies, cognitive science, or human development processes. The program offers two distinct pathways. The Research Pathway is designed for those aiming for careers in academic research, corporate settings, or higher education. Alternatively, the Research and Clinical Training Pathway combines professional psychological service training with research, opening doors to careers in healthcare, academia, research institutions, and policy-making roles. This clinical pathway holds full accreditation from both the Ordre des Psychologues du Quebec and the Canadian Psychological Association. Our department prepares future researchers through cutting-edge laboratory training.
