Graduate Offerings
Courses numbered 600-697 and 801 and above are offered on a half-year basis. Courses numbered 698-770 are full-year courses. Candidates for a graduate degree in psychology who possess an ordinary bachelor’s degree must take at least one preliminary year of work in psychology to ensure that their preparation is equivalent to that of a graduate of an Honours course in psychology. Available major areas of specialization at the Ph.D. level are: perception and cognition, learning and motivation, biopsychology, child behaviour and development, social and personality, clincial, and counselling and human relations. Specific training programmes are constructed to suit the student’s interests, goals an dskills through consultation with his advisor. Candidates electing to major in clinical psychology or in counselling and human relations are required to complete internship training under conditions approved in advance by the Department. Students in the doctoral programme may, in most areas, receive the M.A. degree but the Department does not offer a Master of Arts programme as such. Students primarily interested in professional work in applied settings, for which they are seeking to qualify at the master’s level, are advised to take the M.A.Ss. programme. This programme is organized on a co-operative plan and includes four full terms of on-campus study and two terms of employed practical work and training in field settings. Students enter the programme in mid-September and will go out for their first fieldwork (internship) term in the following January or May. The degree thus requires two calendar years beyond the honours bachelor degree in psychology or equivalent preparation.
