The PSA has gathered a set of resources and guides on how to approach applying for graduate school. If it’s something you’re considering, this is the page for you! Some guides are from the perspective of current graduate students in psychology, some are from the point of view of faculty. Keep an eye out on our calendar and our social media accounts, as we often post and link to other online sessions talking about this process!
CPA Student Reps + PSA Workshop
In October of 2020, the PSA and a group of CPA Representatives joined together to present an incredibly well-rounded workshop on the process of applying for graduate school in psychology in Canada, what options are out there for programs, and provided links to all kinds of resources! Thank you so much to Michelle Paluszek, Hugh McCall, Janine Beahm, Keaden Shebaylo and Sydney Sulymka for organizing such a successful event!
Getting Into Grad School in the Time of Covid
Dr. Mitch Prinstein, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and the Director of Clinical Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, put together a phenomenal overview of what the process looks like! Watch to learn what admissions is looking for, check out useful statistics and other things to consider. Pay special attention to the section on what to include in a personal statement!
Getting into Honours + Grad School Presentation
Every year in Fall semester, the University of Regina Psychology Department does a presentation on how to get into the Honours program, which includes discussions about the relationship between Honours and graduate school, and some information on graduate school admissions. The 2020 edition of this presentation was completed in October and this link will update with the new version as soon as it is available.
