University of Alberta Psychology Programs

By joining the University of Alberta’s Psychology Programs, you will acquire the ability to understand different facets of psychology, to think critically using psychological perspectives, and to map their views of the human psyche. These programs cover a broad range of topics, from infant, childhood, and adolescent development, to aging and memory, to language, speech, and culture — plus much more.

Graduate programs at UAlberta use an apprenticeship model for training and aim to train skilled and independent researchers who will make significant contributions to the discipline of psychology. UAlberta’s programs encourage early, significant, and sustained involvement in research through apprenticeship-style training, mentored by a group of vigorous world-class faculty members. Our graduate alumni have successful positions in universities and colleges, branches of government, and industry.
