Study psychology at postgraduate level and you become part of a diverse, dynamic and supportive community in which to research and learn. Research conducted under this programme heading can be in any area of our expertise including Developmental Psychology, Organisational Psychology and Political Psychology. A Master's by research degree focuses on research expertise and prepares you for professional work or PhD study. A PhD is a doctorate of philosophy based on mostly independent study. Both research degrees are assessed formally on the basis of one piece of work, a dissertation (or thesis), that reports your original thought and research. You must also successfully complete all required training. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Canadian students typically need to have completed a Bachelor Degree (Honours)/Baccalauréat/Professional Degree or Master's Degree at an accredited university or college. Your existing degree does not have to be in psychology as long as the statistics training requirement is met and your proposed supervisor and the Director of Graduate Studies (Research) are satisfied with the suitability of your academic background. Your existing degree transcript should note that you have taken and passed a minimum of one term each in statistics and social science research methods courses (or two terms of a joint statistics and research methods course). It is possible to be exempted from the statistics training at Kent if there is sufficient evidence that you have already completed equivalent training in a previous qualification. |
