The MA and PhD programs in Psychology involve intensive research training in the fields of Behavioural Neuroscience, Lifespan Development and Social/Personality psychology.

Students in the MA program develop an appreciation of the scientific basis of psychology and the skills that are necessary for the systematic examination of basic or applied issues in their fields of interest. The program is designed to provide pathways for students who are interested in remaining at Brock to pursue doctoral work in their specialized area.

Graduate study in psychology at Brock offers an exciting breadth of opportunity for research, teaching, and community integration. Of equal importance, the atmosphere in the department is exceptionally collegial and faculty are very supportive of graduate students. The program thoroughly prepares students for an academic career, and I highly recommend it.

The program’s course-work component and thesis develop strengths in practical and theoretical research skills that are critical to the analysis and evaluation of various concerns and policies related to environmental, health and societal issues.

The strong applied component of the program leads to unparalleled career opportunities for students, whether in the context of pursuing further graduate studies or professional work in the fields of health, kinesiology, recreation and sport management.

Applied Health Sciences at Brock provides a variety of study options for graduate students working towards either an MA or MSc. The MA program offers field specializations in Community Health, Health and Physical Education, Leisure Studies, and Sport Management while MSc students may specialize in Health Sciences and Kinesiology.

Graduate students give our program high marks for an engaging learning experience. In small interdepartmental groups, faculty and research staff provide a high level of mentorship and share with students their passion for discovery through collaborative studies.
