The Clinical Psychology specialization is one of two options available in the Counselling and Clinical Psychology graduate program, which awards both Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Designed for aspiring researchers, educators, and practitioners, this program requires applicants to specify their preferred specialization and propose a potential faculty advisor during the admissions process. The PhD program in Clinical & Counselling Psychology (CCP) equips students with comprehensive training in theoretical frameworks, research methodologies, and practical applications, preparing them for diverse career paths in academic institutions, healthcare facilities, and community organizations that provide psychological services.
The doctoral program expands upon the foundational knowledge and skills acquired during master's-level studies, emphasizing advanced research and professional development. Applicants must indicate their chosen specialization area and suggest a prospective faculty mentor as part of the admission requirements.
