Whether you want to work in an academic or a clinical setting, counsel children or adults, or open a private practice, UNB Fredericton’s psychology graduate program can help you get there. Students gain a real-world understanding of psychological issues and conduct clinical research through practicum training at our on-campus Psychological Wellness Centre.
Our clinical program is accredited by The Canadian Psychological Association and adheres to a scientist-practitioner perspective so students develop the assessment and intervention skills needed to succeed. Our experimental program emphasizes research and teaching skills and is tailored around students’ unique interests. We collaborate with our Saint John campus to provide access to a wide range of psychological research opportunities and courses.

All students are considered for an Arts Faculty or departmental Graduate Assistantship (part scholarship, part teaching assistantship) which is awarded on a competitive basis (one MA year about $15,000, four PhD years about $19,000). Students are expected to apply for external funding and have been very successful in these competitions. Currently, we have graduate students with funding from SSHRC (Master’s, Doctoral, and CGS), NSERC (CGS), and CIHR (Master’s and CGS).
For more information on our program, contact Dr. Biljana Stevanovski, Director of Graduate Studies, or Jessica Carter, Graduate Studies Assistant.
