Earning a PhD is typically the essential educational prerequisite for obtaining registration or licensure as an independent clinical psychologist across most North American regions.
The most accomplished students in clinical programs tend to be academically exceptional individuals with a deep fascination for behavioral science, excellent interpersonal abilities, and a commitment to enhancing people's lives through research and clinical careers.
Upon acceptance, candidates typically devote 6-7 years to coursework, developing their MA thesis and PhD dissertation research, gaining supervised clinical practice through various placements, and finishing a year-long full-time internship at an accredited clinical facility.
Our department offers robust programs in both Applied Social Psychology and Clinical Psychology. These programs are structured as six-to-seven-year commitments, incorporating an MA degree that students are expected to finish within the initial two years. Failing to complete the MA within this timeframe could affect program standing. All graduate admissions occur for the Fall semester (September intake), with exclusively full-time enrollment available—no part-time alternatives exist.
Qualified first-year students may obtain financial assistance through entrance scholarships (requiring an 80% academic average) and Graduate Assistant positions. Additionally, prospective students can apply for Tri-Council Scholarships or Ontario Graduate Scholarships before starting their studies. Further funding opportunities may be accessible through faculty members for specific research or applied initiatives.

Prospective students are required to submit a CV outlining their academic, research, and relevant volunteer experience and scholarly contributions.
Applicants are required to write a personal statement regarding interest in graduate training in the field. Applicants should describe their research interests and indicate potential faculty member supervisors whose research interests are compatible with their own. Applicants applying to the Clinical Program should indicate program track. The statement should be no more than two pages, single-spaced.
Three letters of recommendation are required. Applicants will provide email addresses for each of their letter writers in the electronic application system, and requests for references will be emailed to applicants’ letter writers.
