Program details

Overview

The Master of Science (Experimental Psychology) is a thesis-based graduate program in Memorial University's Department of Psychology. It involves graduate coursework together with a research thesis, and full-time students can normally complete the requirements in two years. Research areas available to students include behavioural neuroscience, cognition, health and wellness, developmental psychology, and social psychology, with students supervised by a faculty member in one of these areas. Admission requires a bachelor's degree with at least second-class standing, or roughly a mid-B average, in an appropriate area of study, along with two letters of reference, at least one of which should address the applicant's capacity for research. Applications for Fall admission are considered through Memorial's School of Graduate Studies. The thesis component requires students to design and report original psychological research, preparing graduates for further doctoral study or research-oriented roles in psychology.
