Program details
Overview
The Master of Science in Experimental and Applied Psychology at the University of Regina is a thesis-based graduate program, typically completed in two to three years, designed to train students in psychological research methods, statistics, data analysis, and computer programming under faculty supervision. The program covers applied research in areas such as cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and social psychology, and students benefit from partnerships that include research opportunities connected to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Coursework is built around a faculty-supervised thesis rather than a comprehensive-exam or course-only structure, giving students sustained, mentored research experience over the length of the degree. It suits graduates of an honours psychology program, particularly those with prior thesis or research experience, who want rigorous methodological training aimed at applied psychological research careers rather than clinical practice. Graduates typically move into research and analytical roles in government agencies, law enforcement organizations such as the RCMP, educational ministries, and health authorities, or continue on to doctoral study in experimental and applied psychology or a related field, building on the quantitative and research skills the master's program develops.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master's in Experimental and Applied Psychology normally requires an Honours degree in psychology that includes a faculty-supervised thesis; applicants whose degree combined coursework and research experience similar to the University of Regina's own Honours BA or BSc in psychology may still be considered. The program page does not state a numeric admission average, GRE score, reference count, or statement-of-purpose requirement; under the university's general graduate eligibility requirements, Psychology is not one of the higher-threshold disciplines (English, History, Math and Statistics, and the MPA are held to 75 per cent), so the baseline expectation is a graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year bachelor's degree. No English or French language-proficiency scores are stated on the program page; international applicants must otherwise submit proof of English proficiency through a recognized test per the graduate eligibility requirements, unless exempt via prior Canadian post-secondary study.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
