Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical Psychology

Dalhousie University

The Clincal PhD program is a CPA accredited program which follows the scientist-practitioner model. Clinical psychology is part of the science of psychology and we therefore emphasize both research and clinical practice. The program typically takes 6 - 7 years to complete on average including a one-year clinical residencyinternship.The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience is dedicated to building and sustaining a diverse equitable and inclusive working and learning environment. We specifically welcome applications from Black Indigenous and racially visible persons individuals living with a disability and individuals who identify as a sexual andor gender minority. The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience continues to make efforts to eliminate barriers for diverse applicants as has been demonstrated by removal of the Graduate Record Exam requirement the initiation of a unique bursary for applicants from any of the above-mentioned groups and ongoing collaboration with administration on improving the accessibility of our departmental space.
