The UWaterloo PhD program in Clinical Psychology prides itself in its ability to maintain a standard of excellence in clinical and research training while effectively adapting to meet the current standards of our profession.
As a program fully committed to the scientist-practitioner model, we provide state-of-the-art, in-house training in evidence-based practice and clinically-informed research. Our graduates are confidently prepared for a wide range of rewarding careers in Clinical Psychology research and practice.
If you are in your final year of undergraduate study and interested in Clinical Psychology, you would first apply to the MA program. If accepted, you would complete your MA studies, and then seamlessly continue to our PhD program. We also occasionally admit students that already have an MA from another university.
