Five things to know about the Clinical Neuropsychology track at the University of Windsor:
Our program takes a lifespan perspective on neuropsychology. Graduate students take required courses across the lifespan and have the option to add electives near the end of their program in particular developmental stages or practice approaches.
Our growing investment in research provides unique opportunities to our graduate students. Students have access to research resources within Clinical Neuropsychology, in the Psychology Department, and through the university. Research groups are designing new studies each year as well as analysing secondary datasets.
Our faculty are invested in our graduate students. Students are assigned an academic advisor prior to their arrival and typically identify a research supervisor prior to their first day of class. This helps our students get a "running start" in graduate school.
Our students do well. Because our program meets Houston Conference guidelines and requirements for registration/licensure in Canada and the United States, our students go on to one of their top choices on internship and are much sought after in a number of settings.
The city of Windsor and the surrounding area has all of the benefits of a mid-size Canadian city with easy access to a major American city. The pennisula on which Windsor sits is known as the "Sun Parlour of Canada" due to its warm summers and temperate winters. This area also has a very reasonable cost of living. You can find out more about our area on the city website.

Graduate Programs Overview
Psychology and neuroscience.
Graduate programs are designed as "apprenticeship" programs in which students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to supervise their research. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research, scholarship and independent thinking rather than on course work.
Experimental Stream
Experimental Degree Table
Candidates for the Master's program in Psychology & Neuroscience in the Experimental Stream must have an honours degree or equivalent to honours in Psychology; candidates for the PhD program must have a Master's degree in the area of graduate work. Experimental Psychology is the study of human and animal behaviour and the neural mechanisms controlling this behaviour. As a science, psychology strives to learn information about behaviour through observation and experimentation.
Neuroscience Stream
Neuroscience Degree Table
Candidates for the MSc program in Psychology & Neuroscience Neuroscience Stream must have an honours degree or equivalent to hojnours in the area of graduate work; candidates for the PhD program must have a Master's degree in the area of graduate work. Neuroscience integrates psychology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy and other branches of the life sciences into a single discipline concerned with the structure and function of the brain. Neuroscience is exceptionally well represented at Dal; faculty members study the nervous system at molecular, cellular, and behavioural levels.
Candidates for the PhD program in Clinical Psychology must have an honours degree or equivalent to honours in Psychology (or closely related degree ie. Cognitive Behaviour). Students who have completed additional degrees or work at the graduate level may be eligible for advanced standing within the program. Please refer to our Guidelines for Exemptions for more information. The Clinical Program is founded on a scientist-practitioner training model and is committed to prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion in all components of training. Students are also provided with the opportunity to expand their learning into areas of interest (e.g., child psychology, adult psychology, neuropsychology, addictions, health psychology).

The Department of Psychology offers graduate training in Clinical Psychology leading to M.A. and Ph.D. degrees and is based upon a scientist-practitioner model of clinical training. The program is designed as an integrated sequence leading to a Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology is accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association, most recently in 2021 for five years.
Applicants may seek clinical training in one of the following tracks:
Clinical General
Clinical Child
Clinical Forensic
Clinical Neuropsychology
Program Mission and Values
Mission - Our mission is to produce graduates who contribute to the science of psychology and to clinical psychology practice. The Clinical Program emphasizes the integration of science and practice. We are committed to training students to take a scientific approach to clinical practice and to use knowledge gained through clinical practice to inform scientific inquiry.
Values - Our program attempts to foster the following values in our faculty and students as they perform their teaching, research, and professional activities:
ethical behaviour
the integration of science, scholarship, and clinical practice
respect for and responsiveness to diversity
engagement with and service to the community
commitment to lifelong learning
Philosophy and Model of Training
The Clinical Program is based on a scientist-practitioner model of clinical training as established at the Boulder Conference in 1949. As such, the Program endorses the principles of scientific inquiry and emphasizes knowledge acquisition, scientific training, and structured, sequenced practical training as fundamental to the development of clinical competence. The Program recognizes the importance of breadth and diversity in training to ensure an appreciation of different theoretical and research perspectives. At the same time, we recognize the importance of depth in training within specific domains of clinical psychology. Thus, in addition to broad and general training in clinical psychology, the Program offers tracks in Clinical Forensic, Clinical Child, Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical General Psychology. Training within these tracks is achieved through focused streaming of advanced courses and practica. While the research home of all Program clinical faculty and students in each of the tracks is within the Clinical Science research area, many Program members are cross-affiliated with other research areas within the Department. As a cornerstone of training, the Program operates an outpatient mental health clinic (CPC) designed to provide psychological services to the community, training and education of graduate clinical students and a setting for psychological research.
Program Goals and Objectives
We aim to foster the development of research, scholarship, professional skills, and a commitment to ethical behaviour. Our program emphasizes three broad goals each of which is reflected in specific objectives:
1. To provide students with training in scholarly and research skills within the field of clinical psychology
Students will achieve foundational and applied knowledge and skills in research methodology and statistical analysis.
Students will develop foundational knowledge of research and theory related to Clinical Psychology.
Students will develop knowledge of research and theory related to their chosen track (Clinical Child, Clinical Forensic, Clinical General, and Clinical Neuropsychology).
Students will develop competence in formulating and conducting independent research and communicating results (in oral and written form).
2. To provide students with training in clinical skills
Our Program is committed to producing clinical psychologists who are fully knowledgeable and practically trained in clinical psychology with competence in the areas of assessment and intervention. To that end, the Program incorporates a number of clinical skill objectives.
Students will develop the skills needed to conduct a range of psychological assessments.
Students will develop skills in differential diagnosis, case formulation, treatment planning and therapeutic skills.
3. To foster the development of ethical and professional conduct and respect for diversity
Students will be knowledgeable about the ethical guidelines and standards related to the practice of psychology as set out by federal and provincial acts as well as international guidelines, standards and laws in relation to the Canadian context. They will also know how to apply these standards in their professional practice.
Students will be able to analyze and critically evaluate ethical dilemmas and identify appropriate means for resolution.
Students will be responsive to issues of diversity in their academic, research, and professional practice.

Neuroscience Programs
Neuroscience is a highly interdisciplinary scientific field of study that offers insight into the structure and function of the brain and the nervous system. Our nervous system is responsible for an enormous range of tasks, from regulating essential body functions such as breathing and digestion to producing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Neuroscientists are interested in understanding the normal development and activity of the nervous system, as well as what happens under atypical circumstances such as neurological injury (e.g., stroke, brain injury), neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease), neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., addiction, schizophrenia, depression) and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism). Applied neuroscience research has the potential to produce evidence-based strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders.
Neuroscience education can be a powerful tool for many future endeavours. Given the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, students interested in pursuing research-focused graduate programs may have a variety of viable options (e.g., Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, or Biology). A neuroscience background is also valuable for a range of applied professional programs (e.g., Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Public Health), including medical school. Undergraduate education in neuroscience can also lead to a variety of direct-entry careers (e.g., research technician, data analyst, pharmaceutical sales).
Subdisciplines in neuroscience examine nervous system functioning at different levels of organization and analysis.
Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience explores the nervous system at its most fundamental level, investigating the influence of genes, signalling molecules, and cellular morphology on the development and maintenance of brain function, predominantly through the use of in vitro techniques (e.g., immunohistochemistry, patch clamp).
Systems and Behavioral Neuroscience examines the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour and how brain circuits work together to analyze external stimuli, internal biological states and past experiences in order to coordinate appropriate responses, predominantly through the use of in vivo approaches in behaving subjects (e.g., optogenetics, chemogenetics).
Cognitive Neuroscience focuses on understanding the neural basis of human cognition (e.g., language, memory, attention, decision-making) predominantly through the use of patient neuropsychology and neuroimaging techniques (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG)). Taken together, these complementary approaches work to foster a comprehensive understanding of nervous system dynamics.
Choosing Your Program
Our programs in Neuroscience provide and opportunity to study the biological basis of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. A program in Neuroscience pairs well with many other courses and programs here at UTSC. A few of the most common double major pairings with Neuroscience include Psychology , Mental Health Studies , and Human Biology. While these are the most common pairings, there are many other options that are highly complementary to training in neuroscience (e.g., Computer Science, Population Health, and Molecular Biology, Immunology and Disease), and we encourage students to explore and identify the combinations that are most consistent with their interests.

Develop a high degree of research competence in a specialized topic while gaining a broad academic background to allow you to apply your research interests to both behavioural neuroscience and psychology.
Each Behavioural Neuroscience graduate student engages in research from the beginning of the program, first by working under the close supervision of an advisor and then by assuming a more independent approach as specific research interests are formulated. Students are required to study a wide range of topics that focus on both the behavioural and neurobiological facets of the discipline.
Our faculty members in the behavioural neuroscience program conduct research at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health . The Centre employs a strongly multidisciplinary approach, combined with a scientific philosophy of cooperation and collaboration among the researchers, physicians, and technicians who are exploring common origins and overlapping features of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Faculty research programs are well funded by major national granting agencies, including NSERC and CIHR.
The general exchange of ideas in the neurosciences is facilitated by the presence on campus of a BC chapter of the Society for Neuroscience, the meetings of which are attended by neuroscientists from throughout the region.
Program Overview
All students are expected to attend the informal weekly behavioural neuroscience seminar and give one talk per year for as long as they are in the MA and PhD programs.
Behavioural Neuroscience graduate students are encouraged to attend and present papers at national and international scientific meetings of such academic societies as the Animal Behaviour Society, the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science; the Society for Neuroscience; and the Psychonomic Society.
The MA program requires full-time resident study and should be completed within two years.
6 credits of behavioural neuroscience core program courses
3 credits of statistics
3 credits of PSYC courses outside the behavioural neuroscience area
Thesis (18 credits)
In addition, certain students may be required to complete additional courses or other undertakings because of deficiencies in their preparatory background; these requirements are specified by the program in coordination with the Graduate Student Progress Committee in writing during the first term of the student’s residence in the program.
Note: Students completing the MA program must apply for acceptance into the PhD program; acceptance depends upon the quality of the master’s-level work.
PhD Program (at least 12 credits)
Full academic year residency is required for PhD students until the attainment of candidacy.
Comprehensive examination
Dissertation
Behavioural neuroscience students must take at least four (3-credit) courses from the following list during their graduate studies (MA and PhD).
