Qualification Requirements
The Psychotherapy Program will admit a limited number of students each year. All applicants will be reviewed by the Psychotherapy Program and selection will be reserved for candidates who meet all requirements set by the program as well as the Department of Graduate Studies. Given the limited number of spots in the program, possessing the minimum requirements does not guarantee an offer of admission. Honours Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Social Sciences or Health Sciences from a recognized university with at least a B+ average (equivalent to a McMaster 8.5 GPA out of 12) in the final year of study. This requirement is consistent with the Faculty of Graduate Studies’ admissions requirements. For applicants whose first language is not English and who did not attend an English-speaking University for their undergraduate degree, a test of English language proficiency is required.
