The PhD in Psychology is a 4-year program aimed to train candidates to make significant contributions to the field of Psychology by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to become successful consumers and producers of original scholarly research. The PhD program will emphasize three distinct areas of research: (a) Behavioural and Cognitive Neuroscience; (b) Developmental Psychology; and (c) Social, Health, and Personality Psychology. From these areas, candidates will engage in research directed towards understanding how cognitive, neurobiological, developmental and social processes drive and shape human behaviour, personality, health, and well-being. With this degree, PhD graduates will have the knowledge, skills, and training to prepare them for traditional positions within academia or to pursue non-academic career paths in industry-, government- or community-related fields.
