    About

    The clinical psychology graduate degree program at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan trains students in the scientist-practitioner tradition.

    Designed to work in tandem, the master’s and PhD programs allow you to make steady, seamless progress toward your educational and career goals:

    • The Master of Science in Clinical Psychology establishes an academic and practical foundation for personal and professional growth.
    • The PhD in Clinical Psychology builds upon that foundation with opportunities to acquire clinical skills and to pursue advanced study and research.

    To have the best chance of achieving their career goals, students typically complete both degrees. (More on why this is important in the FAQ below.)

    Please consider how the integration of the two graduate degrees matters to your future.

    • One of the major reasons students choose U of R is because our doctoral program in clinical psychology is accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA).
    • Graduating from an accredited PhD program gives you a competitive advantage for top clinical psychology jobs, and helps you smoothly transition into the registration process necessary to practice psychology.

    What Do Clinical Psychologists Do?

    Clinical psychologists work in research, education or clinical settings in communities throughout Canada and around the world.

    Entry Requirements

    Master’s Degree

    A graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 per cent. Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 per cent or more). Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.

International applicants, except those who attended universities where the language of instruction was English, must submit proof of English proficiency, usually in the form of recognized tests with the exception of applications to French language programs in La Cité universitaire francophone. The most common is TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Applicants must have a TOEFL score of at least 4 Internet-based, except as noted below. FGSR accepts the following tests:
