Admission Requirements
The Department of Psychology considers applications only for full-time graduate studies for the PhD degree. We do not consider applications for part-time study.
The nominal requirement for admission is an honours or major degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) with significant research experience. Such experience is usually obtained by completing an undergraduate research course, writing an undergraduate or Master's thesis, or working as a research assistant.听
The clinical program is direct entry into Ph.D. No masters is possible. Because professional licensing in Quebec is granted upon completion of the PhD (including internships), the Order of Psychologists of Quebec is standardizing both undergraduate and graduate curricula. In principle, all students applying for a PhD in clinical psychology are advised to complete 42 specific undergraduate credits in psychology as specified by the Ordre des Psychologues du Quebec. Students missing any of the required 42 undergraduate credits must demonstrate proficiency in these areas by taking the required course(s) independently and passing a final exam. Students may complete these courses during the first two years of their graduate program.
