The Psychology Department provides two advanced degree options: MA and PhD programs. Our primary focus is on doctoral studies, and we generally advise against applications from those solely pursuing a master's qualification. While exceptional candidates holding a relevant master's degree (including a defended Psychology thesis) may occasionally qualify for direct PhD admission, most students begin in our MA program due to SFU's specialized Psychology course requirements.
