Graduate students in our department enjoy an intellectually-stimulating, supportive learning environment. Graduate training is organized in six broad training areas: clinical psychology, cognition and brain science, experimental neuropsychology, individualized programs, lifespan development, social psychology. A strong research orientation encompasses all areas of graduate study, and continuous involvement in research is a defining feature of the UVic Psychology graduate student experience. An empirical thesis and an empirical dissertation are required for students earning MSc and PhD degrees in our graduate programs. Our programs develop scientists who can capably advance knowledge through research and/or practitioners who possess research skills sufficient to design and implement treatment or program evaluations.
