Graduate Studies

PhD- Applied Social Psychology (PhD.PSYC)

Our PhD program offers advanced training in theory, research and professional skills in Applied Social Psychology. It is designed to build on the foundations established in the Applied Social Psychology MA program. It aims to be comprehensive while providing the flexibility for students to select a set of teaching-learning activities inside and outside the classroom suited to their career goals. The programs provides opportunities for students to engage in such development through four main types of teaching-learning activities:
