Graduate programs in psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick offers direct-entry PhD degrees in clinical psychology and psychology. Students are admitted to the PhD program directly from the undergraduate level and no terminal Master’s degree is awarded. Students with a relevant Master’s degree may be eligible to receive advanced credit for some courses.

Students may be admitted to either the clinical psychology or psychology program. Students wishing to switch programs must apply for admission to the other program. During each admissions cycle, applicants can apply to either the clinical psychology or psychology program.

Clinical Psychology PhD program

The clinical program prepares students for careers as professional psychologists competent in assessment, intervention, research, supervision, and evaluation in a wide range of academic and clinical settings. The clinical program provides generalist clinical training, preparing students to obtain core knowledge in assessment and intervention for individuals across the lifespan.

Psychology PhD program

The psychology program uses a research-mentoring model to provide individualized training in research and teaching to prepare students for research-oriented careers.

Experimental Psychology MA program

In addition to the two doctoral programs, a terminal MA Program in Experimental Psychology is offered through UNB Saint John. All applications to this program are processed through the Saint John campus.

Faculty members of the Graduate Academic Unit on either the Fredericton or Saint John campuses can supervise students in any of our graduate programs.
