Graduate Studies

The Psychology Department offers two graduate programs leading to MA and PhD degrees. Our graduate programs are oriented toward a PhD degree. Those seeking only a master's degree are discouraged from applying. Students with a previous master's degree (e.g., an MA that included a thesis in Psychology that was defended) can, on occasion, be admitted directly to the PhD program, but most often enter our MA program (there are coursework requirements specific to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Psychology).

Students with Bachelor degrees must submit their applications to the MA program. Students admitted to our graduate programs have a Psychology Honours degree or a Psychology Major with strong research experience, as well as excellent performance in psychology methodology and statistics courses.

Please refer to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AVs for further details. Please note that our graduate programs are not offered online.

If you have questions, please contact the Psychology Graduate Program Assistant at psycgrad@sfu.ca.
